Here is the ABS electric system.http://www.abspowerbrake.com/ehpm.html

In addition to packard34s Caribbean in Australia, it was installed on one car and I think also a second both located on the east coast. Don't recall any mention of others. Reports have been good and I don't recall hearing anything negative other than it is a bit noisy at times when the pump kicks in.

The one question that has not been answered is how it performs in an emergency if a failure of the unit or power should happen and for some reason there is no reserve available. As ABS mentions in their description, if the reserve is used up it relies on the manual braking effort. The stock Packard location with the 1:1 pedal ratio is considerably lower than the minimum ratio recommended for all modern brake systems -- manual or power -- so manual braking effort available is going to be very limited.
