    Both the 1956 carbs were the same.

    In 1957:

    With standard transmission, (2) R-1434's were used.
    With auto transmission, the R-1434 was the rear and R-1437 was the front.

    All three sets of carbs used chokes on both front and rear.

    There were also a few sets of early experimental units in 1956 using a different intake that used the Carter WCFB 2361s, but I can find no documentation that any of these test vehicles were ever sold. On the other hand, I can find no documentation that they were destroyed. Since Holley came in with a less expensive bid.......
