There is nothing inside the choke itself that opens the circuit after it gets warm. I think that you need to find the original choke wire and connect it to the carb, if you want the choke light to go out.

The choke light wouldn't come on at all if the I was using the wrong wire, right?
THe choke light goes out if I remove the ground wire, so it wouldn't be the fuse.
where is this oil switch you are talking about? On the side of the block near the oil filter? This is a new switch and I have good oil pressure on my stock gauge. Im at a loss guys. Has anyone had this problem. Now that I know there is a problem it bugs me. I need it fixed.
The truck is a '81 swb
