Good ???

As I too need to wire up one on my Holley.

Wire it to a source that comes on when the key is on & go through a fuse. Actually the factory has an oil pressure switch wired in the circuit so if the key is on & the engine is not running it won't heat the choke off, but it is not nessesary.

I'd just wire it to the HEI. It hardly takes any amps to run the choke, and once the choke is closed, it isn't taking any power.

Another popular place to connect the choke wire is to the wiper motor wire, which is hot any time the key is on or in run. The choke wire feeds the coil inside the choke housing and it draws power anytime the key is on. The coil's purpose is to heat a bi-metallic spring inside the choke housing which opens the choke plate on the carburetor.

otherwise known as an "ignition hot"

Re: electric choke
 

What part of the HEI do you hook it up to?

Re: electric choke
 

The same wire that energizes the HEI from the ignition
