electric choke dash light

[greatdane]

Put a new edlebrock 1406 carb on my 84 tonight. The po had disconected the electric choke wire on the old carb(also a edelbrock). When I connected it the choke light came on in the dash. Truck started fine came off high idle fine but the light stayed on in the dash? How does that light work on the factory carb??? Does it come on when you turn the key then go off after you start the truck? Or does it stay on until the choke goes off? When "should" it go off? I have not adjusted the choke any yet.....

Good news is the truck runs alot cleaner now. No more raw gas smell...
