While I'm certainly no originality guru, that booster looks identical to what is in my '73 Challenger...so probably incorrect for a '70?
Everything on a '70 is 'one off' isn't it?

Some numbers might help. There's a casting number on the m/c & there might be a number on the booster. I would always rebuild the originals if possible... if they're correct.....Joe

I think if I were in the market for something that looks close to stock for a 70 and is bolt on-ready to go for not a lot of money, I'd go with this booster-

And then the Raybestos 36307 master as outlined in this thread by JH27N0B-

Spoke to the engine builder and were using a big solid cam he said I won't have the required vaccum for a booster

He suggests running a willwood master straight to the firewall and no booster.

What are your thoughts

That seems to be what a lot of people go to when running a big cam, maybe also consider a hydro-boost setup.
