If im not mistaken ,unless you got the heavy duty suspension ,The drum size would be 10"all around.And if you got the H.D. suspension the rears would be 11"...........that is if memory serves me correct

Chrsyler was pretty good at matching the equipment to the car potential. I can't say for FACT- but I would think the small block lo-po motors got the 10's. BB and 340's,( could you get a 340 in a Satellite??) would get the S-13 suspension and corrolating 11" drums on the corners.. or disks. but the 10's should be the norm.

Mine is 10" all the way around. it is a 318 car. Watch out because parts are getting scarce. The disc brake cars are getting a lot of repop's bu tthe drum cars are getting harder to work on.

The 340 was available in satellite sebring and roadrunner, but not the +. In think that that is pretty weird, but that is what the brochure stated. i am sure if you wanted and SSP with a 340 it was not too hard to get one.

Actually the 340 wasn't even available in a B-body till mid-way through the 71 model year. Off the top of my head, I want to say Feb of 71 was when it was first offered, but don't quote me on that. It was the only motor available with the then-new electronic ignition. The Road Runner was the only model it was available in, but as we all know, with MaMopar, never say never. Though I have yet to ever encounter an original 71 340 car, or even seen a VIN of one, that wasn't a Road Runner. The Satellites (coupe, Sebring and Sebring Plus) as far as the info I have were only available with the \6, 318, 383-2bbl and 383-4bbl.
