You mean this document?

As it says this was mandatory on all cars manufactured after jan 1 1970

Thanks guys.  I've seen a few of these "Consumer Information" reports now.  Just surprised me that my local mopar guy had never seen one.  Rereading Barry Washington's response back to me, he wasn't talking about this particular piece of documentation.

I assume that they didn't test each vehicle, but rather had a sample for that configuration of vehicle.  In my case 383-2V automatic transmission, front disk brakes, bla bla bla...  But since there were so many potential configurations, how did they decide what values to report?  Perhaps they had a table based on weight and horsepower.

Jamiez,  looks like your car is a 360-4V engine.  Did your car come with drum brakes?  Interesting that my 70 with the heavier motor would have a shorter stopping distance.  But drum brakes on your would explain that.

It has power front discs.  I'm not sure about the rears as that part of the broadcast sheet is gone.  I don't think drums were an option in 74.

Edit: I double checked the codes.  It's a B41 car so it came from the factory with Power Front Discs and Power Rear Drums

The 74 challenger is actually heavier than your 70. 
In 70 with a V8 the JH23 weighed 3,118 lbs
In 74 with a V8 the JH23 weighed 3,225 lbs

All those bumper reinforcements and other safety equipment packed on the pounds.

Interesting that the failure tests (B and C) the 74 performs better

I had a 70 Cuda 340  4spd a few yrs ago..
sold it on ebay last yr....
I replaced it with a Hugger orange 70.5 Z28 matching #s camaro..
just sold my Z28 a few weeks ago so I could buy this 70 Challenger A66 car
factory Hemi orange.
This one is nicer then my Cuda and my old Z28..
There is more info and pics under the fender tag decode area of this site.
I currently have  about 15 cars, 5 or 6 which are keepers and the rest are
cars we just buy/clean up and flip for the next person to enjoy.

1 more note, when I was a kid just out of high school in about 83, I bought this 70 Challenger Convert.
it was a 318 car, 2v, auto slapstick console... Original color combo was Plum Crazy, w/ white
interior. At the same time, I had a comp orange Cougar Eliminator, it was my baby .
