Yes. All of the early cars with a 272 engine have that problem.

Is the solenoid what some folks are referring to as the "magnets". I had replaced the sensors and the problem did not correct.

Yes. The little pigtail wiring harnesses are also a know fault that plugs into the magnets. The dealer has an open campaign going right now. They should replace them free of charge.
