Muffler for 1976 Newport w/ 360CI?

Has anyone found a stock-replacement muffler that fits these?

My muffler is bad, but the piping is fine. The only mufflers I can find for these cars are listed for the 440CI cars.

Thank you for any advice!

Cruise control

1978 Chrysler New Yorker 440. Hi my cruise control has a mind of its own! If I set it at any speed it will engage but then lose speed then smash on the gas hard to get to speed again. This will happen over & over and repeat. Any clue what’s causing…

400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker – noticeable difference?

I’ve been rolling around in my head getting a 76-78 New Yorker for road trips. Some of them have the 400, some the 440. Of course I’d want the 440 but is there going to be much of a noticeable difference in power, assuming they are both running correctly with a most-likely deleted ELB? I know neither are going to be real peppy as compared to my 68.

I don’t really want to do any performance mods except maybe an aluminum intake, carb, and (quiet) dual exhaust

Vacuum Line diagram for 1976 5.9 w/ 2 barrel Holley

Ours is missing the sticker under the hood, and I can’t see to find a diagram for the connections to the carb.

Unfortunately, I started the swap, ran into some health issues and am now trying to put the replacement on.

Appreciate any help.
