Getting the 'Scoop' on Factory Air Induction and Scoops.
In mid 1968,
Product Planning {Engineering and Design} developed what they called
the under-hood fresh-air induction system for the B-Body cars.
Basically a plastic box {under hood installed} with a rubber-seal and oval-shaped
air cleaner with an open element.
Product Planning had labeled this unit as the 'Fresh-Air Induction System',
as per the engineering staff;
* Bob Cahill
* Burton Bouwkamp
* Joseph Sturm
* Jack Smith
* Gordon Cherry
When this was presented to the Sales and Marketing Staff to market, they came
up with the monikers.
> 'Air Grabber' for the Plymouth Road Runner and GTX
> 'Ramcharger' for the Dodge Super Bee and Coronet R/T
These names were secondary, as they were used for Marketing and Advertising
purposes, to make it easier for the Sales Staff.
Both 'Fresh-Air Induction Systems' utilized the same ordering code {N96}
For Engineering purposes, the unit was called the 'Fresh-Air Induction System'.
For Sales purposes, they were called 'Air Grabber' and Air Scoop 'Ramcharger Hood'.
