Have a '69 GTO AT (column), w/o AC, w/ PS. I am not sure if I need an idle stop solenoid or not.
I do have the throttle cable bracket and the starter solenoid bracket still attached to the intake manifold, but the original carb is long gone. I have an exact replacement, but no brackets. Is an idle stop solenoid hard to come by? What is its purpose? I plan on upgrading to HEI distributor and electrical fuel pump if that matters. 1969 GTO Restoration

The idle stop solenoid was used to hold the idle up. When you turn the engine off the solenoid would return the throttle blades to a closed postion so no air and fuel would get into the cylinders. This is a very effective way to stop dieseling or run-on. As the other guy pointed out 69's didn't use them but if you want to use one find a switched wire and go for it.

Idle stop soleniod was only used on 6 cylinder cars and ram air cars in '69
