Congrats! I didn't know you were using a Demon but the concept is the same. Now for some history: Way back in the early '70's when emissions experimentation caused the same run-on condition- GM used - a solenoid! Yes, it mounted exactly as yours does and did the same thing. It held open the throttle just enough for a good idle and shut it tight to stop the engine. This was a particular issue on the 250 Chevy straight six. I scrounged up one of those to fix an elderly lady neighbor's '65 Wildcat which had high compression and lots of carbon build up. It worked great and saved the car for her as her "mechanic" had thrown the towel in. I agree- locate that fuse right at the fuse block.

I think all of this could have been avoided just by installing a bigger big block.

I only wish that I had the money to build a whole new engine.
I think that a nice working 540 would fill my needs and still not overpower the rest of the drivetrain.

I figured if you had the money you could just squeeze in a 1005.8 CI in there.

Thanks for the compliment.
For now the fuse will have to stay where it is,my patience level has been reached.
So you are coming to Nova Scotia next week,whereabouts are you going to be ??
Tell me you are going to the car show in Yarmouth LOL
Guy

I would go in a minute. We leave Yarmouth on the ferry on return. Going to see tides at Bay of Fundy, going to Guysborough where Dad's family is and then Sydney where Mom was from. Looking forward to it. I am planning on keeping track of all the G Bodies I see

I'm not quite sure if I could that one past the wife,I bet it's very big bucks LOL
Looks like it would be a tight fit too.

Actually they used 2 types of solenoids, one, you had to touch gas for it to extend and the other was actually powerful enough to open the throttle making for some scary seconds when you had the car in gear and it was misadjusted

I'm not familiar with Guysborough,but I do know Sydney pretty good.
My Dad was from Louisbourg and we had family in Sydney,Westmount and Louisbourg area.
I have gone back there several times over the years,one of my older cousins and I have stayed close.
If you are going through the Annapolis Valley area I live in Kentville.
We will be gone to the car show in Yarmouth Friday to Sunday.
