Default Secondary Port Vacuum Solenoid

Should this hold vacuum without the power key on signaling the ECM?.....I tested it by putting vac on the Solenoid and it will not hold vacuum.

Lee, I think you have to plug one of the holes, and then it should hold vacuum? I think it's something like 2 out of 3 should hold vacuum? I had one go bad on my #1147 and it was not holding vacuum under any circumstances. I wish I remembered more, sorry.

I think I found my replacement on ebay from Jim Butler Chevrolet. But like Paul, I'm now running (well, not running right now...) with no secondary butterflies.

Thats where I got mine.There are 2 designs the difference being the filter.The early design take a flat filter and the later solenoid has a nipple for a slip on filter.You can still get the filters from the dealer.
