I have learned something today that I never knew! Thanks to honest people!! That's what makes this site AA+++71's AND 72's used that solenoid..bolted to the manifold. Some 72's the solenoid was shorter. Same solenoid used on 70-71 sixpack and HEMI's too....that's why they go for big bucks.
Kikgas...the date code is 1387 on your other carb - 138 day of 1977.
MAN, THANKS!!! That is why this site is the absolute BEST. Not to often you find honest folks. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. :cheers: To bad the rest of the world wasn`t like you!71's AND 72's used that solenoid..bolted to the manifold. Some 72's the solenoid was shorter.

'71 Thermoquads were a 1 year only deal. Their jets were pressed in notHe said it depended on what it needed and is missing. I have another one that come with it as well for parts.
its energized with the key on and its out, then when you kill the engine it retracts and allows the throttle blades to close more so no run on and dieseling. they are being repop you can find them on e-bay for about $100 only difference is no stamped part #.OK, so here's a stupid question, what does the idle stop solenoid do?
I can guess it probably stops the idle. Question is how?
Thanks
they were not pressed in they are screw in but much different tham the 72 and later, the press in is the first CS series (competition series) like 1969/70 ones, here is a 71 jet, Your right about the air metered for 71'71 Thermoquads were a 1 year only deal. Their jets were pressed in not
screwed in like '72 and later, so if you are missing jets you can't use later
ones from another carb. '71's are also air metered and '72 and up fuel metered.

1971 it is!Is that even a 71 carb? I notice the linkage from the choke to the secondaries. Didn`t think 71 had that. That is a great pic for reference for mine. Thanks so much!!!!!!!
is that one of your vehicles? got more detailed pics of the engine compartment? looks great!!Good eye EL5!...it's already been switched around.
It's the orig 71.
Note angled idle mixture screws.
Only the 71-72 had the extra lever off the throttle pivot for the Solenoid adjustment screw...
