I'm no 70 expert as far as the correct "numbers" go, but right down the road from you is White Post Restorations, White Post, Virginia. Absolutely the best restoring/resleeving master cylinders. Ask for Billy Thompson. He could probably suggest someone to do the booster.
You could also call Tony Avedisian at Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg. Tony will fix you up. Chuck

If I could afford it I would just bring him the car and say do it!!!
I did speak with White Post Restorations and they have an excellent reputation. I just want to do some due diligence to make sure I receive the best work at the best price.
I never cease to be shocked at what it costs to restore this car.
Thank you for your help as always. Hope to meet u someday since we both are here in Maryland.

Steve Gregori (www.brakeboosters.com) does an outstanding job rebuilding/restoring boosters, including plating.

The Delco logo and casting numbers are on the engine side of the master cylinder. The TIM&JG has the casting # for Power brake master cylinder as 5480346. There should be a "PG" stamped at the flat at the front.

I actually saw the correct master cylinder and you are exactly right. I am one of those show me guys that needs a pictur ein my head.
I even found a corvette shop locally that has the correct piece with a correct date!
Thank you to everyone for your help.
