66 chevelle carb question

Chuck -

My "fuzzy" memory seems to recall in days of yore that the different carbs were related to the car model the engine was installed in. Seems the Chevy II used to be restricted to the Holley carb, the Chevelle could use the Holley or Cater and the full-size car used the Q-jet. Like I said, this is fuzzy. But, for the early years of Stock-SS (up until mid-70's), you never saw a '66 Chevy II with a 327 becasue of the carb restriction. I don't know when or why it changed. This may all be just distorted synapses from years of packing data, not getting enough sleep and stress that has accumulated into a total fabrication, too.

Does anyone else remember such?
