Yes.
6bbls used Holleys.
There were 4bbl applications too.

Yes and no. 2 barrel and 4 barrels are flowed at different numbers. Apples to oranges, solid cam vs hydraulic. The 6 pack is actually a 950 if you want to talk like a 4 barrel.

Thank you for your reply, but I have to show my ignorance. What does 6bbls and 4bbl mean? :shruggy:

6bbl = three 2 barrel carbs. (Tri power in non mopar lingo) also 440+6, 440 6 pack, 440 6 barrel. Dodge and Plymouth used different terms for it.

4bbl is just you everyday 4 barrel carb like and Edelbrock or Holley.

Just google each term and you will see plenty of info and pictures.

You can consider a barrel as the throat going down the carb. Look inside a 2 BBL and you will see two barrels, or venturi's going down. Look inside a 4 BBL and there are two in front, and two in back. A 6 BBL is a series of 2 BBL carbs on the intake manifold. So what would you call dual quads? We call them dual quads not 8 BBL, so go figure? They are 2- 4 BBL carbs on the intake manifold.

I believe they did in a few 383 4 barrel applications in 1969

In the 2nd Gen Charger, I believe '70 was the only year where a single 4-bbl Holley was used...on the 383.

I have one on my 70 500. 383  HP-2 magnum. I just read yesterday on here that the 2 means second shift.

Ok, not sure why I thought 1969  :shruggy: I fixed my first post so as to not distribute false information . Thanx for the info!  :drive:

Air Conditioned motors commonly got Holleys, especially 383's in 69 and 70.  I'm don't have many examples of 68's in my research.  Mostly, depending on assembly plant, a big block w A/C in a given car was still Turquoise in 69 and had a Holley.

The Holley 4440 was used on 383's in '69 but not on Chargers (the subject).

Never say never with Mopar.  My 383 w AC has a factory Holley.  I'm the second owner, and I still see the first owner.  I have seen other 69 383 cars w AC and a factory Holley at Carlisle.
