Idle stop solenoid FYI
1 Attachment(s)
I recently got my AC system running after 40 years of not working on my '72 C20 and immediately encountered idle issues when the compressor was on. Found I needed an idle stop solenoid (found on Rock Auto) but was missing the bracket that bolts to my Q-jet carb.
I found several threads discussing the solenoid and even the bracket but none ever had a part number for it, only members selling NOS ones. I found that the bracket for a '71-74 Corvette will fit the Q-jet and solenoid and they sell it at CorvetteCentral. Attachment 2205371 |

I have one on my 72 with AC, but mine is for anti-dieseling I’ve always thought.

Took 2 to replace mine. First one failed bench testing.

Re: Idle stop solenoid FYI
All the research I have done on this solenoid it is for anti-dieseling for our trucks, though it doesn't mean you can repurpose it to "up" the idle for when the A/C kicks on. I'd image you'll have to tap the gas pedal at stop as it isn't all that powerful. I spent a lot of time getting a working/proper solenoid, finally got a NOS one off eBay some time back.
As I am using mine for the original purpose, I have summer and winter idle adjustments. After two summers, this has worked well for me. |
