Here is some "old school" trivia. Did you know that back in 1970, MOPAR's abbreviation for the shaker was the following: I.Q.E.C.A.G It stood for Incredible Quivering Exposed Cold Air Grabber Check out the following image from a 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda brochure. Note the arrow pointing to this option.
I remember when some 'Cuda owners would opt out for a hotter camshaft to really make that engine shake at an idle. A hot cam with some exhaust mods would create a whole new sound when cruising through the burger joints. Nowadays I see some Challenger owners with exhaust mods working the paddle shifters and foot feed taking off from a traffic signal. A head turner for certain....sounds great in a tunnel too. I do remember some Chevy owners that would opt out for a timing chain to timing gear swap, a hot cam with exhaust mods/cut outs....this would create the whine and rumble that would put the Ward Cleaver types up a wall and run the cops crazy. Some things should never change. Music to my ears, then and now.
That's interesting for sure. I ran timing gear set instead of chain on my s10. Once in awhile someone would stop me and ask if had blower. It whined a bit and the cam barked at idle. If I had a old school shaker that thing would dance a jig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
