I've been looking for a project

Yes - I thought the Ad was deceptive - that's why I mentioned it. OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer - simply means it was sourced from the OEM, but that doesn't mean the part is the date correct, original part. It is a "replacement part" - even Nissan will send you a newer style, or new and improved replacement for the original Part if the original is no longer available. 

If there actually is no problem caused by swapping the reservoirs - you are golden.  If you have to re-bend the brake lines it is a PIA.. but doable.

Based on Carl's reply would this be the same issue at less than one third the price or is this correct for a series one car?

Yes - that one would have been far less - as it's not OEM and has different looking caps... but still somewhat the same function and  over-all appearance

I want original.  I'm learning some things the hard way.

I just got my booster back.  These guys do a great job.

I’d you need the decal for your booster, I have reproduced the correct decal for both the 1969-70 240z,  and 1971- 73 cars.

Theses are the two booster decals I have made.  The bottom decal is for 1969-70 cars, and the top one

is for 1971 thru 1973 cars, I believe.  What is your vin # or year?  Do you know which one was on your

 car originally?  Theses decals are pretty much flawless in reproduction accuracy.

The car has been registered as a 71 and a 70.  It's currently registered as a 70.  The vin is hls30-08987.  The titles I have show that years ago it was titled as a 71.  I was thinking the guy that owned it before me wanted it to be a 70 so he did something to change the title.  I don't know if there is a definitive way to know what year it it? if there is i'd like to know so I can keep things as original as possible.

There should be a manufacturer data tag on the drivers side door jamb.  It has the month and year 

of manufacture stamped into this tag.  From a quick look at Carl Beck,s Z Home web site which lists

owner registration information, hls30-8987 was probably manufactured on 9/70 making it a 1971 car.

July is usually believed to be the changeover date from year to year.

How much are your decals?  The data tag is missing!

The 1971 decals are $25 each plus postage.

Master Vac Part Number was the same 69 up to 05/71.  #8987 would  have an 08/70 DOM.  Not certain when the Decal Changed, but perhaps it has been discussed in another thread here at some point.
