Default Brake Booster Date Code Help

Can anyone show me a pic of where the factory date code would be located on my 1970 booster please.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm not aware of the booster being date stamped or at least I've never noticed it on my 70. I don't recall reading about it in the NCRS TIMJG.(I'll need to check.)
There are some stampings on the master cylinder, but there seems to be some debate as to whether it is a julian date or random numbers. Some members on the NCRS forum have master cylinders stamped with just "1", another member had "696".

Hi Rob,
I believe the 70-72 TIM&JG indicates there was a part number stamp and date stamp on the boosters.
I'm sorry I don't have a picture since my usual source for pictures doesn't have power brakes. Maybe a year and Julian date?
Perhaps someone else can post a picture.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Revi,
It's mentioned in the Mechanical area, in section 17, the last paragraph.
