When I bought my 73 dart it had a carter AVS on it. well it finally craped out and my dad found a reman thermoquad for cheap. well it came in the mail last night and it had a wire comming off of it and i didnt know what it was. well found out it a idle air enrichment soliniod. 1st question is what all does that do. 2nd question will it be a good idea to hook it up and 3rd how would i go about hooking it up. is it a constent 12v? key on? hook it to a switch? etc

I think you got a later-model TQ with the extra smog junk on it. Hate to tell you this but I doubt it's going to work on your engine without a lot of tuning and modifications.
The idle enrichment solenoid richens the A/F mixture at idle so smog engines idle better when not fully warmed up. I'm guessing since your engine (what is it BTW?) had a Carter AVS on it there's no emissions junk on there, so you don't need the solenoid to work.

why not just rebuild the AVS they are good carbs
Mike, what are the numbers on the carb. You'll find them on the drivers side carb pad, the vertical surface.
Secondly, is this a reto or a (Minus the intake) job or a HP build?
IMO, I'd return the carb and go here for your T-Q needs.;

and tell'em we here @ FABO sent ya.
This fella is very very good with the T-Q carbs and can ethier rebuild what you have and retune it per your build, sell you a proper one for the task at hand.
