What is this?
On a 1969 Chevy 307 with at least a 10gauge red wire going to it, what is this?

Fast idle solenoid to bump the idle up when the AC is on. It compensates for the drag on the engine when the compressor is running.

Funny, my truck doesn't have A/C, but this does look factory and is tied into the fuse panel(not another carb the p/o swapped on)....weird

No other reason that I am aware of for that solenoid. Maybe someone swapped the wiring harness. Is the wire inside the harness or was it run separately? Maybe someone did a motor swap at some point and took the harness as well.

Put Voltage to it and see if it works. Worth a few dollars on Fleecbay! Al W.
