However, I have been told that the carb's throttle arm would have had a provision on it ( like a bent tab ) where the solenoid's plunger would ride up against. This would eliminate the possibility of the plunger getting wedged and keeping the throttle open unexpectedly. I'm gonna try to upload an image or five shortly. Steve

Doesn't M&H make that solenoid today,or at one time?
I could swear I saw those on the market within the last 10 at a Chevy Show.

Looks right to me. [/ QUOTE ] James, Look at the solenoid itself and the bracket that is attached to it. I've never seen one like that before. I wonder if the solenoid was an addition from another car that somehow ended up with this setup. I remember swapping parts like that back in the mid 1970's because that was all we had. Any thoughts on the authenticity of this additional bracket on the solenoid?  Steve
