Idle Stop Circuit Question.

I'm redoing some of the wiring under the hood of my '72 short step. More specifically, I'm eliminating some of the circuits that I do not need after swapping engines. I want to re-use the idle stop solenoid circuit (12ga pink wire) and connect it to the electric choke on my Edelbrok 1406...can anyone tell me if that circuit is "key on" only? I would test it, but currently have no battery. Thanks in advance.

Re: Idle Stop Circuit Question.

It depends on what it was used for. Some were used as a emission control to back the throttle up when the key is turned off to prevent run on. Sometimes they were used as a kicker when the AC was turned on. You will need a scematic for that year to be sure.
