That's a loaded question. The "right" place is to have a dedicated line coming from the battery to a relay which is triggered through a switched power source (ACC line from fusebox, usually). You can also get a switched line from the starter.
However, a generally proper way to use one of the ACC spots on your fusebox. There are proper end terminals for the 73-87 C10, but you can also use a spade terminal end that plugs into the fuse box. I WOULD NOT use a bare wire stuck into the fuse box.
It also depends on what you have installed on your fuse box. A fully optioned C10 isn't uncommon, but it isn't that common either... so there is usually a free ACC spot on the box, which is what I personally use for my electric choke. If all the spots are taken, you can get jumpers which add an a second fuse inline with the original, allowing you to add one additional, fused, line to an already existing connection.
