Cool/Heat: Since I am not McGiver, I need suggestions!

[Hawklover]

I have an R-1 with a/c and a 500CFM Edelbrock carb.
What can I purchase and customize to allow the carb to increase several hundred RPM's with the a/c on and stopped at a light, or in stop-n-go traffic?

I imagine there has to be some kind of solenoid that can be attached???

Thanks for some ideas!

Studebaker equipped the AC cars with a throttle kicker solenoid. Put out a WTB here and see what's offered.

If you can't find the original, millions of GM cars were equipped with them. A trip to the U-Pik yard is always fun.

Yes I know, a real POS.....tossed it years ago and then tossed the AFB. I will keep looking:-)

There was a fast idle kit that was composed of a smaller water pump pully and an electric kicker. I have one on my 64 R1 with A/C. It might be difficult to find one, but they work well.

Have a look at Edlebrocks web site.. They have several throttle kicker setups that are bolt on and go. Summet Racing as well a Speedys should have them as well...
A bit pricy I think but since you are not McGiver might be better that the frustration of messing about with a junkyard setup.. DMc

Yes......Studebaker Miami tossed mine in the trash(1967) because it never worked correctly.

Who is this McGiver you speak of?

Dean.

The stock ones were Vacuum controlled Kickers, when properly adjusted worked fine.

Was waiting for OP to respond, but here goes. MacGyver is a special operative known for his ability to fashion gadgets from material at hand to solve problems relating to his assignments. I believe there is a remake series on TV.

At my house, it is called Jimmy rigged.

And he was impersonated by Richard Dean Anderson.
Yes, there's a reboot of this series.
