Re: Piece of cake...

I am easily confused but, are you talking about a tach solenoid valve for the wiper system or a idle solenoid valve for the a/c system?
Me thinks that Jack is confused as to which post he is replying to

Re: Now I'm lost,,

Kurt,
I know how you feel. I've been working on my car since 1998.

You said the carb solenoid (green)wire on your car had been cut at the wiring harness right? According to the AIM, the other end of your green wire should be be connected at the inside fuse block to the terminal labeled ign (ignition). Does your car have a wire connected to the ign terminal?

Carb idle solenoid for smallblock with A/C *NM*

Re: Now I'm lost,,

Bryan,
Just went to the garage and looked at the fuse block/panel.
I have no wires of any kind connected to the IGN terminal on the fuse block.
I also have no green wire connected ANYWHERE on the fuse block.
How was my A/C getting power. It worked before I removed the compressor to have the engine rebuilt. Have not yet reinstalled it as I need new hoses.

Re: Now I'm lost,,

Kurt,
Look at your AIM a/c wiring diagram. The cut green wire in your a/c harness goes to the a/c compressor. The connection at the a/c compressor should be a two wire connector. The green wire power and a black wire that leaves the connector and goes to ground on the a/c compressor.

Re: Now I'm lost,,

Bryan,
I have the green and black wire in a two wire black plastic connector at the compressor location and it was previously hooked up and the compressor worked fine.
It is the wire to the idle solenoid that I don't have. I thought this was the one that was cut.

Re: Piece of cake...

You are CORRECT, Dick! I was ressponding to another post on windshield wipers. I picked up a NASTY new virus, Trojan.Downloader.AEU that I've been fighting for almost a week.

Comes in as a harmless cookie, then undergoes a tranformation into a virus that hijacks your web browser taking you to various web sites with products for sale. Supposedly, after a while of you NOT buying things, it turns malicious and begins to destroy data on your hard drive!

The critter blew right through my Spyware shield and Windows' firewall. Norton's Anti-virus didn't detect it either... You'd be on-line at a give web site and be hijacked to another site every 30-40 seconds. Maddening!!!!

It's a LONG story as to how I finally cleaned the critter up, but I spent HOURS with various spyware and AV software suppliers as this is a VERY new malware threat that was un-classified as of last week.

So, yep I responded to the wrong thread amidst hijack episodes...

Even on BB's, wasn't it added after SOP ?

Kurt, Dick ---- I'm no C3 person, but my reading of this TSB (item (2) indicates to me that the solenoid was added later.

Agree that '68's are something else; half the TSB's seem to deal with "issues" on that vehicle.

Re: Even on BB's, wasn't it added after SOP ?

I have the '68 Chevrolet Service News that you are referring to. I cannot find any reference to the addition of the solenoid on the 327's. We see a few of these units with the solenoid. I am going to get Olson Engineering wiring diagram and see if the origial harnesses had the wire for the solenoid.

Dick,
It would be interesting to know what the serial numbers on these 327 with the solenoid.
