Air when you floor it the vacuum drops and the Air Graber pops up to grab air for the wide open throttle.

[@avman1339]

The vacuum is highest at idle, so it is more difficult for any vacuum operated accessory to work at wide open throttle. This model, as the 70 Roadrunner, used a switch to actuate the vacuum system.

I have one of these cars. Flooring the throttle pedal does not open the scoop, it has nothing to do with that. It strictly operates off engine vacuum stored in a canister. There is a switch under the dash that either allows vacuum to bleed off (Off position) or not bleed off (On position) when the engine is running. When the ignition is turned off the vacuum will bleed off regardless of the switch setting. At idle, engine vacuum pull is the lowest, as RPMs increase the pull gets stronger. If you have a big cam, like I do, you have very little vacuum at idle, not enough to keep the scoop fully open. I wire mine fully open, using a semi stiff wire and the actuator’s return spring. My actuator is disconnected from the scoop door linkage, and my Air Grabber system is disconnected from engine vacuum. I have a power brake booster, so I want all available vacuum to go to the booster. When I did have it connected, it would never fully open at idle, only when the engine was turning 3000+ RPMs. At idle it was only about half way open.

You are right about the 3 generation chargers 66 to67 is first 2nd is 68 to 70 and3rd 71 to 74 and they did have an omni as a charger also they had a cordolba charger.😊😊😊😊

Two thumbs up on choice and color...maybe later on a '71 Plymouth Road Runner 440 4-spd.

[@avman1339]

The Fresh Air System on a Pontiac is a Ram Air, BUT Dodge called it RAMCHARGER and it was Plymouth that called it "Air Grabber"

[@Komet163B]

Dodge did call it Ramcharger, but they did use the Plymouth Air Grabber labeled On/Off switch under the dash.

[@anthonybrincefield2812]

Chargers are all automatic,challengers can have manual

[@avman1339]

Bahama Yellow or Butterscotch is NOT one of the "High Impact" colors.

[@ervinthompson6598]

I wonder where he gets his information . "Minimum" of 383 ?? Funny how many 340 cars I've seen !! ..... All 383 Magnums were rated at 300 hp for 71 - and that wing is the crappiest imitation from K- Mart ever put on any car.

[@alanaugustine8565]

Gull wing.

[@ervinthompson6598]

Nope - 340's were also available in the '71 Bee.

[@njrivetelite]

That sounds ALOT like my father's old Plymouth Satellite.
