Are all 70-74 e-body hood hinges the same? If not, do they fit all years and hoods even if there is some difference?

They will interchange, but they're not the same. :alan2cents:

Thanks Alan! Found some for sale, and I just need a pair to hold the hood up for now.

At least 3 different versions, but they all will work.  1970 hoods use a smaller 5/16 bolt and the top bar on the hood hinge is narrower.  1971+ hoods use 3/8 bolts and the hood hinges have a wider top bar (the bar the bolts to the hood).  There was some running changes to the teeth and the way it pivots too.

I just bought a pair from a -72, this is for my -73 Challenger.

You're good. Basically 70 hinges are nice to find, others are more generic.
