1975 air control valve solenoid

[emf1367]

I just repaired the air control valve located in the hood. Before I reassemble everything I thought I would check to ensure the solenoid is working correctly. The solenoid wasn't receiving any electricity so I thought I would check the circuit. The problem is that I can't find any wiring diagrams that show the solenoid. I'm not sure what takes place within the system for the air control valve to open so I don't when it would receive electricity or where it would come from. Can anybody help me? :confused

there should be a switch under your gas pedal that gets activated at WOT.
