I figured we could do a practice question to see how it will work. No points awarded on this first one.
The 1st question is....
Plymouth called their fresh air induction system
"Air Grabber", what did Dodge call theirs?

Shaker? or was that a generic term for any engine mounted fresh air scoop?

OK, Since this is just a practice question and there were no correct answers, I'll show you the hint I was going to give.
A. Power Booster
B. Demand Induction
C. Sonicflow
D. Ramcharger
Giving the hint would've taken the points available from 2 to 1.
Since this is just practice, I'll give the answer now.
The fresh air system used on Dodges was aptly named Ramcharger. It basically consisted of twin hood scoops with underhood ducting channeling fresh air to a huge oval air cleaner and was identical to the system used on Plymouths which they called the Airgrabber.The big Hemi Orange Ramcharger and air cleaner against the impact body colors used in the engine compartment and underhood offered up quite an eye catching contrast that grabbed ones attention! Curiously Chrysler engineers learned early on that to make the Ramcharger system trully develop power the hood scoop openings would need to face rearward for optimum airflow however marketing would determine that asthetics were more important to sales and the scoops would remain facing forward for a performance look!
