In the Tech Manual it states the cap on the solenoid is dark brown. I have found one with this part # (1114356) and a black solenoid cap. Could this be correct for a 427/390? VIN is around 110500. Thanks.

Re: 1967 Solenoid
Oh, and here is the top of the cap. Could the "R" be a replacement cap?

Re: 1967 Solenoid
That is an original solenoid for your 427/390. The cap is black as well as the solenoid itself.Comment

"R" is the ballast resistor connection point. "S" is the ignition switch connection point.Comment

Re: 1967 Solenoid
The 'S' and 'R' marks are as Steve says--different wiring connection points for supplying ignition power during engine cranking vs. non-cranking. Auto electric guys typically refer to them as the START and RUN terminals...Comment

I have never seen an original GM #1114356 with a dark brown cap. Perhaps some were made, but I've never seen one that I thought was original. However, I know that at least some, if not all, of the 356 solenoids used during the 67-69 period used black caps.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Re: 1967 Solenoid
Joe, Maybe the Tech Manual needs to be changed. Page 136 of the Red (4th Edition) manual states "a dark brown Bakelite material." I have been told there was also part # 1114458 used. Could that have been dark brown? If the manual is incorrect, who would we notify?Comment

I don't think that a GM #1114458 was ever originally used on a 1967. I don't even think that solenoid part number even existed at that time.
The dark brown cap was GM #6258043. I don't think that it was used on the GM #1114356 solenoids until about 1971 or 1972. Even then, I don't think that it was used on all such solenoids.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Re: 1967 Solenoid
The terminology START works for me, but RUN doesn't in that this terminal has no power in a run condition....unless they are refering to the starter itself running....Comment
