I have used both. The PBR is a far superior unit to the Lockheed. The
Lockheed's pressure valve sits at the bottom of the unit and when it gets
wet it can corrode.. making the unit inoperable. I have no idea why they
don't put a SS sleeve in there, then there would not be a problem
Anyway, I've had the PBR on my BJ8 for 30 years, and for various reasons
the car has sat for years from time to time. Every time I start it up, the
booster works flawlessly.
You can order them on ebay, and direct from OZ
