These E-Bodies where ment to be driven! I've got 250,000 miles on my Challenger and one of my best adventures was driving to the gas station with my son in his 2015 Challenger Scat Pack! So some poor soul in a black cracker box got a wake up call when he (she?) had the misfortune of being in the...
Zooming in on the fender tag in the original post, the tag is not original. There's something missing from it that is present on all original fender tags I've seen. And no, I'm not going to say what it is, but if you have a original fender tag, you should be able to figure it out on your own...
I just saw an inexpensive unit that popped up when I searched eBay for "70 Chrysler Cruise Control Module and got excited! It's getting harder and harder to use cruise control these days, even here in southern Arizona. So much freaking traffic!

From Jeg's:
Hooker Headers 5115: Super Comp Headers Small Block Mopar 318-360 - JEGS
Looks like they fit small blocks in B and E bodies and certain C bodies.
If you have disc brakes on the front with really good pads (something that generates a lot of dust), I doubt you'd notice much of a difference between 10" or 11" drums on the rear. 65-70% of braking is done by disc brakes in front. If you got drums in front (why???) then the 11" rears might show...
My opinion is any documentation (books, shop manuals, owner's manual, decoder books, MCC books, etc.) is great to have for these cars! Plus all the things that get posted in this forum. Never have too many resources materials!
