HELP with electric choke
 

Hey all, I just installed a Holley 600cfm carb,and need to know where the + lead on the choke should be getting power from. the guy I got the carb from said "run it off the + side of the coil cuz it's the closest hot lead to the carb" is this o.k. or should I find a better/safer hot lead? Where do you guys hook it up to?
Thanks in advance.

I've heard not to run it from the coil or alternator. Find a keyed ignition circuit that gives you 12vdc when key is on and zero volts when off.

like off the fuse box?

I run mine off the coil. It doesn't draw much current.

Someone else might have an idea why it's better to run it off another circuit, but I can't think of one.

On mine I run a wire from the choke back into the fuse box. (something that is only hot when the key is on)

Fuse box is good, wiper motor is another source, as others mentioned, hot ONLY w/ key on...

Make sure carb is grounded to intake, and intake grounded to body, body to frame. Can't have enough grounds.
