Does anyone know where I can get one of those solenoids that bump up the throttle on the carb when you turn on your Air Conditioning?

When I am idling I am at around 850rpm. When I turn on my A/C the idle drops down to around 500rpm.

I can make my idle mixture richer and this keeps the idle around 700 when the A/C is on... But boy does the rich idle stink like hell. I rather get one of those solenoids I have heard people talk about.

My old 73 Monte Carlo (350 4bbl Qjet) came with one. Holley offers one as well, here is the Holley solenoid:

I bought a solinoid off of E-BAY for $12.00 shipped and the bracket for a holley for $8.00.I use to to warm up my car.Just flip the switch pump the throttle and start the car .Ideals at about 1500rpms for a few minites and its good to go then just flp it off ideals at 850 rpm no need for a choke.
