69 BB idle stop solenoid

[Steve Antonucci]

Hi everyone,

In my quest to find an original 69 big block idle stop solenoid & bracketry
for a big block ( Holley equipped ) restoration, I came across this solenoid
part number: DR-1997420

Is this correct for this application, or a service item?

Thaks,
Steve

I acn't find any record, at all, of GM #1997420. It was never available in SERVICE, although it may be a PRODUCTION-only piece. In any event, it's not the carb solenoid used for the 1969 Corvette application.

i can send u a picture of it on my original 427 x3 2bbl. it is a very complicated stamping that would be difficult to recreate.

About 10 years ago, or maybe a little more I sent the bracket and solenoid from my 69 400 horse air coupe to ASC in Sparks Nevada so he could repop it. He kept it a while and sent it back, so I'm assuming he made the parts. I know he moved from Nevada, but think he's still doing Corvette related stuff somewhere.
