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!

What is the failure rate for this setup Rex? And you're looking at about $200 for the setup with junkyard parts?
