Mopar 1971-1972 B-Body Air Grabber Assembly Kit
On the 1971-72 B-body, fresh air induction was option N96. Plymouth called it Air Grabber on the Road Runner and GTX, while Dodge called it Ramcharger on the Charger and Super Bee. Either way it is a vacuum-actuated trap door that opens on command and feeds outside air through ductwork to the carburetor. This PG Classic kit reproduces the full working assembly to OEM specifications.
The kit is more complete than most. It includes the Air Grabber door with its pins, the air box and its seal, the flapper, the actuator with its bracket and springs, the vacuum hose with clips, and the dash switch and solenoid that control the system. With those parts in hand, a car that came with N96 can be returned to working order instead of having a scoop that is wired shut.
What Is Not Included
Two items are sold separately: the vacuum air cans that store vacuum for the system, and the fiberglass hood bulge itself. The car needs an N96-style hood to accept the door and box.
Wiring and Plumbing
The electrical side is simple. The solenoid has a single feed wire that connects at the accessory circuit, and the switch lamp ties into the dash illumination. Route the vacuum hose cleanly along the original path, and check every connection for leaks before closing the hood, since a small leak will let the door drift shut. A hand vacuum pump is the quickest way to confirm the actuator holds before final assembly. Once it holds, cycle the door several times with the engine running to confirm it opens and closes fully.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit include the hood?
No. The fiberglass hood bulge is not included, and neither are the vacuum air cans. Everything else needed for the assembly is in the kit.
Is this the same as the Dodge Ramcharger system?
The 1971-72 Charger version of N96 was called Ramcharger. The kit covers the Charger listed in the fitment as well as the Plymouth Road Runner.
Will it fit a 1970 Road Runner?
No. The 1970 Road Runner and GTX use a different Air Grabber system, which we sell as a separate kit.
