Is that air cleaner one that sucks the air in through the vents in front of windshield ?

[Dave Kanofsky]

Did he build it or buy it that way?

Yes, it is.     It is also a rare 2 x 4 bbl unit.    Only used in NASCAR in 1968.    Does not fit a street Hemi manifold.

built it , been collecting parts for years  .  Sold his six pac bird so he could finish this one and his boss 9 Talledega Build .  So now he has three
Race themed aero cars  .  Or 4 if you count the Cale Cyclone spoiler II but its stock .  That makes 6 aero car total with the silver daytona mostly stock and the charger 500 also .

think I might of asked this before , although i cant remember     ....not wanting to hijack this thread & get too far off track , is there any lap speed / times with the Daytona running twin four barrels  compared to a single  , at the same track etc ? or the charger  in 68 ?

No comps to a 68 because it was at Talladega.    The #71 Daytona ran 201.104 with the twin 4-bbls.    So that would be compared with Baker's 200.447 in March.    But that dual carb setup in the #71 would not be legal for race competition in 1970.   Nor would the body configuration with the roof drip rails removed and various items bondoed in.   But he did set a closed course speed record.   

Weather that day was pretty bad.   18 degrees in the morning and windy.    Isaac said he got blown up to the top of the banking by a cross wind.     When he came in, he asked how fast he went.    When told he had the record,  he said,  "Well that's enough of that chit" and he was done for the day.

The Unser car at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1972.    Look how the pipes are sucked up into the rocker panels of the car. 

[Aero426]

A dual purpose car, it also ran on dirt without nose and wing.

Times have changed a little....

   Probably 2 complete nose setups,would be easier to change..

This is kinda like comparing Hank Aarons home run record being broken by a guy on 'roids...

One Superbird front clip.  One short track clip.   All comes off in one piece.   Probably took longer to change springs, torsion bars and shocks.

In post #38 is that a fancy coil or some kind of race car cooler type thing ?

The coils on the race cars had a heat sink around them.

   Back in the era a racer gave me a large finned "Blue Streak" coil and said that it was the best thing at that time. I ran it  but have no idea if it was an improvement or not.
