It has to be a switched positive wire. Only "on" with the key on. I run a wire from the fuse block at the IGN terminal to the choke. I have also used the reddish wire that powers the emissions control on the 69-72 trucks. Your 67 wouldn't have that wire.

If you use the radio fuse, the choke will drain your battery when you use the alt
side of the key. My wife taught me that the hard way.
