Distributor Solenoid (With 400" Engine)

Install tachometer and disconnect vacuum advance line. Start engine, disconnect bullet connector (about 6" from distributor). If equipped with electronic ignition system, there is both a single and a double bullet connector. Single connector is solenoid wire. Using a jumper wire, jump male bullet connector to battery positive terminal.

CAUTION: Do not leave this connected for more than 30 seconds.

Actuation of solenoid should give an increase of approximately 50 RPM. Make and break circuit several times to be sure solenoid is working normally. There is no maximum limit set for RPM increase.
