Once the Carters were found to be the obstruction on the performance of the Hemi, the rest of the lightweight cars were produced with the Holleys. The Hardtop cars, which I should add were 440 trimmed Dodges, and Belvedere trimmed Plymouths, had the Carter's on them since these were intended to be a "street" car, and the Carter had a choke, unlike the Holley.
