I'm building a 72 340, intake pn 3614025 and 6139S Thermoquad. I'm not sure which idle solenoid and bracket I need to complete the set up. Anyone have the part numbers? Does the solenoid come with the bracket attached or are they two separate parts?
 
I don't believe there was an idle solenoid unless the car has Air Conditioning. The solenoid is separate from the bracket.
 
I do have factory A/C and the carb linkage requires a solenoid to keep it from dieseling on shut down.
 
Thanks for the response. Do you know the correct part number? The solenoid in the 72 Parts Manual is 3438881 for a 340 with a 6139S carb, but haven't been able to match it to a picture.
 
Thank you. I would be very interested in seeing the 1971 setup.
 
Here's pics of mine. Intake is 72 340 Carb is TQ block is 69 340.
I don't see any markings on solenoid. Not sure if it works. The one pic.shows the mount hole. Hope this helps some.

71 & 72 are different the one 4spd has in his pic looks like a 71 they are being repoped but don't work very well, the original has a part #DR 1110429, the 72 is different it's shorter and looks like the one in the Attachment above. I sold a 72 a few years ago for around $150. The 71 if it has the numbers stamped on it and in good working & restorable condition goes for around $400 this is because it's the same solinoid used on the hemi and 440 6-pack!!! The repop is around $100.

Here's what it looked like before everyone ripped off the intake and carb for a holley/performer
Back in the day.

Merry Christmas 4spd !!! 71 440+6 ! Only thing odd is the round head

69-1/2 440-6: DR1114420 (hex head)
70 340 4 bbl: DR1114442 (round head)
70 340-6 and 440-6 and hemi: DR1114429 (round head)
70 440 4 bbl: DR1114421 (hex head)
71 440 4 bbl: DR1114447 (hex head)
71 440-6: DR1114443 (hex head)
 
EL5, do you happen to know the DR part number for the 72 340 4 BBL?
 
The solenoid and bracket are one piece. I don't remember if there was a stamped number on it, best bet is to ask if anyone has a 72 SM or parts manual to check. A quick goggle search came up empty.
 
The 72 Parts Manual showed the solenoid part number 3438881. No reference to any other number.
