How come you were not allowed to order a hemi in 69?

I think something mechanical that was necessary with the Hemi was incompatible with the SE package. I can't remember what.

You could get a hemi in a Charger R/T in 69, but not an R/T-SE. Chrysler was wierd with its rules back then. It could have been something as stupid as the 14" SE hubcaps not being available on the 15"x6" wheels that were required with a hemi in 1969. In 1970 there was no mandatory 15" wheel on a hemi B-body, only on E-bodies, so that may be why the restriction was lifted. (My car came with 14"x6" Rallyes)
