Wow.I have this set up on my L89 chevelle but the solenoid does not seem to work.freemont built car.does this solenoid help with idle emissions?

I don't believe it was a smog component...rather an idle speed "reducer" that compensated for the higher idle of the hi-perf automatic cars. I think Chevy used a similar unit on many 70's engines with smog and a/c..

Donnie,
The pictured solenoid set up is on a 1969 L78 Nova with a turbo 400 trans.
I believe the same bracket and solenoid was used on Camaro's & Chevelle's in 1969 also if equipped with a solid lifter big block and a turbo 400 trans.
