Constant speed solenoid w111
« on: June 20, 2020, 12:05:04 »
My constant speed solenoid looks different to the pagoda pictures. It looks like it has a few add ons to it. Not sure what's original and therefore how to set it up....
Thanks for any ideas

I believe I have heard it been said that the other stuff on the solenoid is power steering related. That line should go back to the P/S system. When the pump is at full psi, it opens the throttle a bit to increase the idle speed to prevent stalling. My '68 280 SE does not have this thank goodness as I don't need any further complications!
