Lockheed and Midland Ross Units have been successfully used. Need near
the 3:1 original boost ratio. The Lockheed does NOT need the
"installation kit", and can be mounted with the attached bolts through

Occasionally available due to many wide aluminum radiator installations.

On the passenger side inner fender well sheet metal, down about 1 foot,
is the union coupling for all the brake lines, and the bottom of this

Under the door on the parcel shelf, just above the muffler. The Mk II
had it in the Alpine spare wheel area.
