So My question to the list is this...since this fellow in Australia is
recomending a local(to him) substitution for the Girling booster setup,and
this aussie setup was used on Aussie Ford Falcons(were they built over there?)
would as similar American part for the same Ford Falcon here be a viable
substitute as well.
