Found these fuel filter shorties some time back at a Mopar Parts Supplier inventory where they had sat since the 70's.

Are you completly sure about that? I'm having issues trying to enlarge the photo and remain clear but the lettering does not seem to match that of samples I've seen from early 70's production.

Well they were close enough for Dave from ECS as they are shown here on his site. http://www.ecsautomotive.com/productdesc.php?co=c&id=60
Dave purchased them from me several years ago.
Here's a picture of one of some singles I have left.

so what would be better a repo that you can read, or a unreadable original. I had the ends of the pressure line re plated.

If you are shooting for O.E. correct, the faded original would be "more correct" (IMO, results may vary depending on the judging body), also, you could lose points for pitting or a non original plating color etc. that is evident on your original parts, but I'd still lean towards that scenario as opposed to a reproduction.

That Dead Nuts guy makes some incredible pieces. He's not afraid to charge for them either.

Brake Booster Hose writeup from his site

The Story Behind the Hose

After discovering Marti Autoworks and other Mustang parts supplier didn't make this hose I checked with Ed Meyer. Ed told me the Mopar guys did a poor reproduction of this hose but it was all that was available. I ordered one for my car anyway then compared it to some of my originals. The reproductions ink color was wrong, the font type was way off, the date code wasn’t smaller than the rest of the type and the printing method was modern. I then decided to reproduce the hose to my standards. After a year of work I’m finally happy with the results. The yellow ink color was custom mixed to get it just right. Each letter needed to be custom made to match originals since the font they used on the originals is not available. The date codes are a smaller size so they also had to be made one letter at time. Modern rubber hose printing equipment failed to get the right look so I custom made a hose printer and process that replicated the manufactures original process. I ended up with brake booster hose that looks Dead Nuts On to me.
