Tim I know they are different. Find a nice used one. I use Steve Gregorio but he is backed up right now. I've also used a lot of the repo ones and they are ok but I would not put one on a car the caliber of yours.

The boosters are number coded,at least the 1970 and 71 model years were.1970 is 0426 and 1971 is 1957.. I bet 1972 has its own number as well. Plus the yellow zinc most do these in is too shiny. 72 model year still were done in gold cadmium, a different and more durable finish than zinc..

Thanks guys, I'll search for an f-body booster. Bill, I use a shop here in Denver area that does cadmium plating, so that shouldn't be a problem. Question for you, is there a trick to separating the booster halves without damaging them?

Cheers,
Tim

Tim-
Chris at that shop you are talking about knows well how to do the boosters. They have to be polished before plating.Actually I sent him the polishing tools he uses. I am assuming Bloomington Colorado..correct?? As far as removing the front cover..I built the tool myself and can send you a picture. It works quite well. Same piece used for reassembly..
As far as the boosters numbers, there seems to be a gaggle or two of 1972 owners on this board. Surely someone can give you the correct booster code. It is at the 12 o clock tab,facing the firewall.The number facing the engine will be the Julian date.. Let me know if I can help.
