Dick Landy 'Flyin Wedge'

To deflect any 'hot-air' away from the Carter Carburetor, we stay with a normal
bottom pan-tray from the stock Dodge 440 Air-Cleaner.

It fits tight, and is shaped to allow for a 'optimal' good-air into the Carburetor. It is
worth a few Horsepower, and many Drag Racers foolishly discard using a one, which
is surprising.

Spark-Plugs are Champion UJ-10Y, and they are set with a .035" Gap.

We used a set of UJ-12Y mistakenly in one race, and they were not 'cold enough'.
Cost us a race, as we went .012 slower in the 1/4 Mile.

Ignition is a reliable Prestolite 'transistorized' system, direct from Chrysler Performance.

We use all Chrysler Performance Ignition 'wiring', as it is reliable, durable and
performs to the highest quality.

A 'Heat-Sink' is installed in front of the Radiator Support, to keep the Ignition
components cool.

For headers, we currently run Hooker Headers {2" Primary x 44" Tube length}.

We like the fenderwell units better with the 440, as they have less bends than
the under-chassis units. It's worth another 10 Horsepower.

With the 'automatic' in the #3649 lb. Charger R/T 440, Dick has smacked down
runs at 12.00 @ 117 MPH.

That is already under the '1968 NHRA National Record' of 12.16 in 'SS/FA' , and the 1969 season hasn't started yet.
