I agree, I ran a set on my '65 HI-PO Mustang and never had any issues. I have also run some Holley 2-4 set ups and they tend to be more finicky than the Carters ,probably the metering rods and fine adjustments that don't require carb disassembly . I'm not sure what the reasoning for the switch to Holeys, but it may have been the limited size choices at the time. I think the Carters were only about 500cfm at the time and you could get Holleys as big as 780..
