'70 turn signal switches are one-year-only, and they're not available as aftermarket parts. The '71-up switch works in a '70 car, but has a differently-shaped hazard flasher knob. If you're talking about a smaller cam on your old switch, that sounds more like a '69-down switch. Oldkimmer's got...

This is from an article in Popular Science, December 1962, about transistor ignitions. It's even got A-body content! The price equates to about $810 (eight hundred and ten dollars) in today's money. The distributor cap trouble the author had was probably because his car had not yet had this...

Sweet! Tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this post. Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download. For upgrades, start with this thread.

Only the headlamps are brightened by putting in a relay harness. If you want the rest of the lights brighter/working better, check/improve the grounds at all four corners of the car, make sure the feed wires and all connections are in good condition, and do like this.

Nope, that's a set of Capaci-Points. First pair I've seen an actual photo of; here are pics of where I know this from. This 1977 book was in my high school library—it's a low-level car maintenance manual stuffed with promotional sorta-ads for relevant products of that time.

No, it would be a manual (non-remote) round chrome one.

1302207704 1: Valiant 3: V-200 0: 1960 2: Dodge Assembly Plant, Detroit (maybe actually Hamtramck?) 207704: Serial number (first SN of cars like this was 100001, so this is the 107,703rd 1960 Valiant V-200 built at that plant) That's all the info obtainable from the vehicle number.

7081. It's stamped there on the carb below 3870902.

I wouldn't bet on that.

Check your valve adjustment. If they're too tight, you can get a rough idle when the engine warms up. Beyond that, and making sure you don't have any funky (cracked/spongy/holed/etc) vacuum hoses, you have the correct PCV valve, etc, tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this post, and...
