Dave,

This seems to be the after market add on that my car has. Mounted just as you
described. The lack of "Power Brakes" inscribed on my brake pedal also shows
that my wagon came from the factory without PB. This spring I will send the
unit off to be rebuilt as I plan to rebuild the entire system.

Thanks,
