My idle stop solenoid has quit working. I need some help locating/verifying a replacement. Found something at NAPA but they list it for V8's with 2 or 4 barrel carbs. I have an inline 6 engine with a single barrel carb. Is there any reason this solenoid wouldn't work in my truck? I'm hard pressed to figure out what the difference would be with the inner workings of the solenoid for a V8 vs. a straight 6.

Anybody no of another place to look for one? The other car shops don't seem to have any (O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc.). I checked with LMC and they don't have any listed either.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam
