I finally got around to looking at the Electromatic clutch control. The solenoid did come off without removing the whole assembly. The solenoid rod and vacuum shutoff piston was Ok but the little poppet valve between the inlet and the solenoid piston is jammed. I don't really even know what purpose it serves but it appears to work open and close on some pressure dufferential between vacuum and the small return spring within the unit and may have something to do with why the vacuum does not completely shut off when the E.clutch is shut off. For now I have been using the E.clutch and it works very well so maybe I will just leave it on until I get around to locating a new poppet valve.
