It allows for a higher braking pressure over the vacuum boost setup. After doing some more reading I have found that the astro vans have them as well and they will bolt into place but you have to cut and reweld the brake rod to the proper length. Then its just a matter of plumming!

If you do, please post! I'd be interested in a pair of adapter!
