The initial problem in 64 was carburetion on the cross ram. The initial runs were with the same AFB's the wedge cars ran, and for some reason the AFB's did not work well on the Hemi. The mid 64 switch to the Holleys is what woke them up.

We've tried for years to make AFB's work on a Hemi crossram, and we never could. I don't know if it's the extremely big plenum or what it is, but we found the same thing. When Gary Conditt of the Ramchargers told me they never could, either, and that is why the mid year switch to Holleys, I didn't feel quite so stupid.

We run both Indy headed wedges, and a couple of Hemi cars. There ain't nothin' like a Hemi.
