i used to work for ford at the norfolk Va. assembly plant and was familiar with their system it is far more modern than what packard had but it would pull a vacuum on the system and dump fluid in immediately after the brakes were filled and bleed in seconds and there were very few repairs needed due to improper fill. also I am pretty sure the outlet closest to the push rod goes to the front cylinders that is because that would be the first to activate by 1 zillionth of a second

I also have used the ABS system and posted pics in this thread
brake switch to abs master cylinder with electric pump
i have dealt with them through out the process and they have been helpful in assisting in installation i located my remote fill canister above the steering column because the location under the fender seems harder to access hope the info helps someone .

I went to mount the rim to the drum just to make sure it would fit and it does not ,
the bolt pattern is a 5 x4 3/4 and 5 x4 1/2 is the original size. a call to Memo the tech guy at ABS powerbrake solved it and the correct size with new bearings and dust caps are on the way, that is good customer service just wanted to add that after my previous ranting on them thank you ABS.

thank you sir ,it has been simple in that it has not needed a lot of modification .
but ABS needs to improve their instructions ,i am sending pics to them for that purpose i hope they use them. overall i am happy with their product and will let you guys know this spring when we are on the road.

pictures of calipers and disk conversion
#1 view of overall disk and caliper cotter pin was to big and caused damage to dust cap had to use a smaller one after calling abs to check for larger cap he told me it was probably the cotter pin new cap will be ordered
#2 view from front showing old packard bolt on bottom with castle nut to secure steering arm and abs bolt and spacer at top
#3 showing back view showing packard bolt on bottom with steering stop and if you look at the casting you will notice righ cast in the back of the calliper that does include the t and yes the calliper stamped right is on the left side abs said this was the solution as i called them and they said as long as the bleeder is on top we are good
#4 view from front
#5 location of master cyl remote fill bottle

mine is very close to this i have an older model my vac booster is mounted to the frame under the master cylinder and the little bottle that is baseball sized is attached to the unit that is how i know mine is a earlier model,
i had to modify the bracket because in reverse the shift bar on the column would interfere. i grinded the corner off of the bracket and reworked the linkage and it all looks good so far.
my linkage goes in front of the booster and curves around to the bracket next to the transmission
I would like to see a photo from straight in front of and above the master cylinder
