Default Brake Booster differences?

I have used Booster Dewey to restore the Delco Moraine booster on my dad's 67 GP. I am going to have the Delco Moraine booster in my 68 GP services (or replace it) and am wondering if there is anything unique about the booster on the Pontiac B body cars, vs the booster on anything else. Can I get away with a replacement like this one (SUM-760165) from Summit?

Thanks!
Jon

Second vote for Mike Gibbons. He really saved my bacon on my 73 SD-455 booster. I sent my perfectly working booster to booster Dewey and they completely screwed it up. The only reason I sent it was to have the exterior re-plated so it would look nicer. Of course they have to disassemble it for the plating. After a lengthy 5 month ordeal, I finally got my booster back from them in non-working condition. Mike Gibbons was gracious enough to sell me a new air valve that Booster Dewey cracked and two other pieces that were missing entirely. It is my understanding that Booster Dewey has been sold and has new owners who I would NOT recommend.
