E and B hinges won't swap. The E body has longer slots and slightly different length arms. Ask me how I know!

Hey Kevin,
Can't answer that for you but just contact SMS Auto @ 800 989-6660. Pickup a set of their rebuilt door or hood hinges and send your old one's back later. Used them many times.
SMS; great place to send your parts to if you want him to loose them. No apolgies either. The guy has selective amnesia. I mean how many burnt orange hinges does he get in a week?

E and B hinges won't swap. The E body has longer slots and slightly different length arms. Ask me how I know!
 lets see some pics 70 e-body s and 71 b-bodys ones 
Referring to 71-2 E vs. 71-2 B... the base is the only different part. The arms are all identical.
Here's a few pics showing the various 70E, 71-2E & 71-2B components.
I've never tried using the E's on B's or visa-versa, but my belief is that you'd have very limited adjustment range.
70E has the narrower top strap design; 71E/B got wider on this part and the rear rivet's diameter was increased. There's several other minor variations, but no hinge geometry changes.
I have a core set of 71-2B style available to rebuild.
And, I agree, the 73-4 style "toothless" style hinges are a better design with a better life, if exact originality isn't a concern.
