Electric Choke hot wire???

Post by coletrain777 »

Where power source do you guys use to run to the positive side of an electric choke on a Holley (I know brand won't matter). Just wondering where you run your hot line from? Thanks

I wired mine to the fuse block. just make sure its on the correct side so the fuse will blow if there is a shortin the future.
Put it on something like wipers.
