Default 1974 specific L82 Carb Question

Did the 4spd 74 L82 engine "WITHOUT " Air Conditioning (C-60) have or use a "ANTI DIESELING" solenoid on the CARB ?

Yes or No?

I believe all '74s had the solenoid irrespective of A/C or not.

Hummm...I just had it in the back of my feeble mind that it was related or part of tha AC harness.......So .. that idle solenoid might have been std equipment on all 1974 4bbl V8 passenger car engines..???

I can't speak about non-Corvette applications.

AFAIK, there should be a single light brown wire with a black connector running along the driver's side valve cover to power the solenoid. This is energized with 12V any time the ignition is 'on'. No connection under any circumstance to A/C.
