Ther may be some one else here , or on the early v8 forum that can explain it better. when it is installed correctly, you will not be able to pull the solenoid back out, it will "hang-up" and only move out about a 1/4 inch and have spring pressure against it. hard to explain, you really need a manual
Yes ,but you gave me something to try.
