Are these my original 1970 calipers and p-valves?

I really need some lessons as I'm weak on brake part ID. Especially on proportioning valves (if that's what they're called). I also need some feedback on a place called Brake Warehouse as I'm about to send a very rare 2229171 master cylinder to them as well. Several questions. Are the calipers correct for an 11/4/69 SPD Challenger RT? Should I send all parts to this place at once? Do all of these parts look original/correct? School me, brake people.

They do not look like 1970 calipers to me.  I would say no, not correct for 1970. 

The 1970 calipers had 2 dimples.

Got another parts bin with brake stuff the seller gave me. Let me check that and I'll post anything I find.

here is a correct for '70 E & B-body disc brake caliper KH80012 "BIG MOUTH"  :takealook:

the "big mouth" on the back-side is an easy ID of this one year only part (very early '71 also)

& just about everything has a date code or two

caliper 1152 = MON. 4/24/72
bracket 266 9 = TUE. 9/23/69
caliper 277 = 10/4/??
bracket 280 = 10/7/??
caliper 148 = THUR. 5/28/70
caliper 182 0 3 = WED. 7/1/70 3rd shift/line

Correct calipers for 1970 will have number KH80012. Hard to find. I just sold one

As for the other part of your question about Brake and Equipment Warehouse.  I had very good experiences with them.  In fact, I sent them my 171 m/c for a rebuild.  They did such a nice job that I later sent a set of 70 calipers to them as well.  Great service, knowledgeable and friendly.

@7E-Bodies those all appear to be newer than '70 calipers  :takealook:

@Floyd very helpful. Thank you! At least I can reach out to them tomorrow for my 2229171 MC. Heartbreaking about the calipers not being original.

I bet I have some good 1970 cores if you need them?

7E-Bodies

Well, my parts all just came back from Brake Warehouse in Minneapolis. Can anyone chime in with the proper paint tone for the 2229171 MC? They offered to rattle can it, but I opted to do it myself with perhaps some better stuff. Also do the calipers get paint? (70 Challenger RT, 11/4/69 SPD) Also thoughts on the MC cap originality...

Master cylinder and lid  should be a 80 percent gloss black.  Calipers were left natural.  Not sure of the best option if you're going to paint the calipers.

Did the Brake & Equipment guys rebuild your p-valve?  Looks nice.
