Hey Phil,
How about a little bit of "how to", like how the power steering pump fit in?

I have a modified 1968 dodge W200 military ambulance. It came with a hydrovac unit. This was an option with the W200's. I had to replace mine. Got it from a brake shop in Vegas about 15 years ago. Do a web search. It bolts to the frame, but you could fab up a bracket and mount it anywhere. Yes, it makes a big difference. Not like disks, but very noticeable. I plan on mounting one on my M, unless I decide to go with firewall mounted master cyl. I haven't decided yet.
