they are the old style power brake boosters uses in the 50's and up. basacally they can be located about any where becasue the brake lines are plumbed to them and they take a vac source. some have external air filters. I was just wondering if anyone had anything to say about them and the like.

I guess the only thing to say is you don't see them used in many other vehicles. That might give you a hint. Is there a reason you can't use a normal booster and mc?
