    You might also try looking for an idle solenoid bracket. The factory changed over from dashpots to idle solenoids in '71. Solenoids are available occasionally & easy to hook up.
    I scanned the for sale ads here. Also looked at Buick engine parts on E-Bay. Asked a few vendors if they still had the bracket. Most aren't being used anymore, people more than happy to give it to you.
    '71 is a little different from a '72 on a 350, not sure about the 455.

    I thought solenoids were used on air cars only!
