Jack's Comments:
This new reproduction 1970 electric throttle positioning solenoid with bracket is excellent. It installs, works, and looks just like the original. Bracket, boot and wire jumper are made in America by a small manufacturer with a NOS solenoid.
Note 1: Jumper tag is sold separably.
Note 2: Production and service Holley carburetor base plates came with different thread counts for the solenoid bracket so we include one set of course and one set of fine threaded mounting screws with lock washers.
Concours Notes:
1) If you have a real early 1970 production car its a good chance it came with a 1969 style solenoid, not this version.
2) The bolt that clamps the solenoid does not have the same head markings as the originals.
See last picture on how to adjust this solenoid.
