It is a very nice NOS part - very happy with it!
Happy for you that you got it working. So, the solenoid was factory on your '72. A/c or no? And, you have the starting instructions on the visor. I wonder if trucks with the factory solenoid are the only trucks with the instructions on the visor (because of the warm start procedure).

Anyway, I also noticed the placement of your throttle return spring...is that factory. Seems to me it is placing a large side load on your throttle shaft which will wear the bore out faster. I always try to ensure the return spring is in line with the throttle cable to minimize radial loads on the throttle shaft.
