Default Idle stop solenoid

After checking with Ames, Year One, OPGI and local parts I've come up empty on an idle stop solenoid. Anyone have any recommendations to where I can find one?

There are usually repops and originals on Ebay.

Here's a bracket for a '68 Q-jet, in case you don't have one,

If you just need one that is functional, you could find something similar and modify/rig it, to attach to the correct bracket.

But obviously, if you want numbers matching, that won't help at all.

Scott,

Since you have some spare Qjet parts would you happen to have the gas line fitting for the front of the carb? I was missing mine and had to settle for an aftermarket one. I'd really like to find an original in good shape. Let me know. I'm going to keep looking for my Idle Stop Solenoid, My engine swap has turned into a full frame off resto. I'm sure others can relate to that.

I'll let you know if I find one of the solenoids
