Just installed an aftermarket A/C system on my 65 Vette with a BB502. When I kick on the A/C .. The RPM's drop about 150 which brings me down to about 550 RPM. In the old days the seventies cars used a solenoid on a bracket that popped out and pusehed the throttle linkage up to compensate for the drop in RPM.
I checked Summit and Barry Grant and they have Na-Da... Anyone you kow making something that will work?
Other wise it's a trip to the Junkyard looking for 70's cars..
You Da Man Mikey.... That's exactly what I want..!!! Funny though I was on with Summit the other day and I asked about this ind of an item. The Tech dude told me no body makes one.
Heh..!! Maybe you should work for Summit.. :thumbup:

A friend of mine says he's got a "NAPA" Part number for a Idol Compensation Solenoid that sells for about $20 or so Bucks. I'll post it when I get the number.
It doesn't look like this one pictured ..but does look like the Edelbrock unit with the rubber boot on the back end. It also has a 4 " tail wire coming out the rear with an enclosed crimp on terminal.
Now the problem is.... It won't work with the Barry Grant Mighty Demon I have. The Holey 20-9 Solenoid Bracket designed to mount on the Holey carb front left hand side..will not work on the BG due to the Acceerator pump linkage interfearence on the BG, even though the BG has the threaded bracket mounting holes their the same as the Holey.
I called BG and they said ...Sorry.....we have no bracket available.
Back to Square one...!!!!!!
