1970 Cutlass AC Kickdown Solenoid
#4
Did those come from the factory on 70s? My 70 Supreme 350-4 bbl didn't have one of those, and my dad bought it in 77 from the original owner so I don't think anything had been removed from it.

I was thinking the same thing Kenneth. The 70 455 has just a dash pot, I had a 70
Cutlass S 350 years ago and I believe it had a dash pot as well. The 7042250 keys
out to be for a 72-74 350 carb also.

The part shown above is an "idle stop solenoid". They were first installed on '71 models to prevent the engine from "dieseling" or running on. The engines were run so lean and idled so high, that when you shut the key off, the engine would continue "running". If the "curb idle" was lowered, using the idle screw, the engine wouldn't stay running with the a/c on. We use to set the idle screw so that the engine would just barely run at idle, in neutral, with the a/c off; then plug in the idle solenoid and set the idle speed in drive with a/c and parking brake on.
