Today, I went to go and deliver an exhaust pipe with the Packard and found brake pedal went straight to the floor. After a quick once-over to find any possible leaks, I determined the Master cyl was bad. I removed it and disassembled it. That third bolt near the top sucks. The secondary seal on the piston was shot but the primary cup looked good. Upon further examination, I found that a small groove had formed in the cup from a rust pit shaped like a groove. This must've formed when the car sat for 20 years. I got most of it out but think it'll likely fail again. Replace or sleeve? I'm back on the road now with a rebuild kit.
