I haven't seen any solenoids either in the catalogs as repos. I believe mine was rebuilt prior to me purchasing the car.
It is a small electric motor with wires to connect so I would think that they could be rebuilt. I would probably take the motor to an electric shop that rebuilds alternators, starters etc.
Also do you have the plastic screen that covers the back of the cowl induction hood behind the solenoid assy? That part seems to be very hard to find too and is not repo'd in the catalogs. It took me two years to find one!

From your PIC of your under hood grill area. I see you do have the rubber bumper stop that is ususally missing and your nuts holding the grill looks to be the correct. I am still looking for correct fasteners for my grill. They have been on "back order" from a Corvette repo co. since last May!
The plastic screens you can some time find them on ebay. The last one I saw went for $15. I had just bought mine from a NCRS judging buddy back east for $25 and then I needed to repaint it as it was painted silver and I wanted it black.
Good luck with the solenoid.

The solenoid is available in repro or NOS/used from Ebay. I bought one there for my 69 Camaro (same part). Check the AM to be sure for your year. I suspect you need #1114427 so try a search on Ebay. Used GM or NOS is best. The First Generation Camaro parts dealer will have repros for about $40 or so.
