Choke wires?
 
So I just picked up an 86 scottsdale with an already installed eddelbrock 1407 carb a d intake. Its a rough start in the mornings because there is no choke installed. While I was wiring my stereo I noticed the choke fuse... so I was wondering if anyone can help me locate these wires comming out of the firewall. I have 2 optional wiring plans for the electric choke I am getting but theres a part of me just wanting figure out where the stock wires are.

Choke wire is normally a dark blue that actually runs to a second oil pressure sending unit. When there is good oil pressure it then allows the 12V to go thru a lt blue wire to the choke. If the second oil pressure sender is missing (which is the case a lot of times), I would just tap off that wire and run it to the choke. By the way, the wire colors are on my 81.

Found a view of the wiring harness

Yeah, I cant even see the oil pressure switch... apparently its somewhere on the back of the engine, haven't checked yet. And I was just going to wire a choke like this...

until I saw a choke fuse. There should be 2 wires coming out of the firewall that I can just take and connect without having to do a bunch of extra work.

The oil pressure switch for the choke is on the driver side of the block, towards the firewall.
if you see a connector hanging with a jumper wire on it, that used to go to that sender.
