ICS will be a single wire on the Aftermarket carb. Hook that to the Green wire that went to the old two-wire ICS (should get 12V on the green wire with key on/engine off).

Yes, one-wire ICS is grounded through the carb body.

The Vacuum switch for decleration won't function now because it uses switched ground to function (through the emissions computer), with the two-wire ICS, which is no longer there.

Sell the switch if it's working; they're NLA.

How do I convert it to a 1 ICS system though, if the clip is gone? I'm assuming I also have to repair this broken wire too?

Forgive my lack of bananas.

What do you mean by 'clip'? The ICS plug or something else?

The single-wire off the NEW ICS Solenoid needs to be spliced or connected to the GREEN wire from the harness-side connector. If you use a small thin pick to remove the spade from the connector housing, on the harness side, then you won't need to splice anything as it should work with a generic connector from auto parts store....

Make sure you're getting 12v at that green wire with the key on, engine off. You should hear a click from the ICS to verify all is working when you tap tap the green wire (key on) to the ICS wire.

*** I'll try and post some pictures later of what I'm talking about, and the correct wire.

You could just use some generic Male/Female single-wire connector, or something more waterproof - Walmart will actually have what you need if there's one close by.

the green plastic connector. Im thinking photos are going to be worth a thousand words for me here :/

This is what you want to do:

Check which harness side green-connector ( that went to the old ICS) wire has 12v (I think it's the green one) but I'm not 100% It's been a while.

If you have an auto parts store or even a hardware store around, they should have a simple female spade connector for the gray connector on the new carb.
