  Evening all.  Would the low tension hood springs used on the T/A Challengers and AAR Cudas fit on a B-body's hood hinges?  I know that the B and E bodies shared the same inner sheetmetal from the firewall on up.  What about hinges and springs?  Thanks again.

Yes, the springs will fit.

The hood hinges E-body vs. 71-up B-body are very similar,
but not identical. The B-body has shorter length adjustment
slots in the base.

The pre-71 B-body hood hinges are a different animal, but
do have the same spring length and in fact there's some springs
used on both E & B-body.  Spring diameter, coil size & wire diameter
varied by application.
