Step up solenoid part #

Im looking in my parts and illustration guide and I can not find it, for a 2bbl non feed back carb it lists the following section numbers and none of them exsist in section 90.


9B550
9S555
9J586
9S520
9D856
9S553
9B549
9N825


All of these section numbers are pointing to some part of the Step up solenoid and bracket assembly. I am looking for the part number for the whole unit as my truck does not have one and I think its about time I tracked one down and installed it.

There's a bracket on ebay right now you better jump on. It doesn't look quite right to me though.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Autolite-Motorcraft-2bbl-2150-Carburetor-Dashpot-Idle-Solenoid-Bracket-/201337645074?hash=item2ee0a8a812&vxp=mtr

Stuff like that is getting reeeeal hard to find in the junk yard.

As far as the solenoid, I know they made several. Dad's feedback with a/c uses a vacuum controlled one for kick up only, and I reused it when I converted his to non-feedback by repurposing one of the emissions vacuum switch solenoids. The bracket went right on so I assume the brackets are the same. There's an anti-dieseling one that is energized when the key is on and you use it to set the idle, then when the key is off it drops back and lets the throttle plates shut more. I reckon if yours is for the '82 it might be a regular 12V kick up? Napa still lists a heap of them but I think they're high.

If you call National Carburetor there's a chance they may have one laying around. Dad swears that when I bought him a rebuilt feedback carb from NCI years ago that it came with the solenoid mounted on it but I'm think he's confusing it with the choke pull down diaphragm.

Thanks that looks just like the one on my '78 Mercury, that is what I was looking for just a step up solenoid not a dashpot. I will take and look in my parts and illustration guide for 70 to 79 Ford Lincoln Mercury to get the part number for the solenoid and I will just retrofit a older solenoid. The carbs are the same and all the solenoid does is get power from the clutch circuit to engage the solenoid. But I am not sure if I want to tax the A/C clutch system like that might do some rewiring and use a relay to supply battery voltage to the clutch and the solenoid.
