? About yellow wire to starter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I installed a new wire harness for the engine, modified for HEI ign. There's a yellow wire that terminates at the starter. I know on a point ign., this would go to the dist., and on HEI ign., this is to be disconnected and taped off. What I was wondering, could I connect it, and somewhere behind the engine, use it as 12V to my electric choke. I mean it's key hot right? Why couldn't I connect it at the starter, and terminate it at the electric choke? I could install an inline fuse to CMA against burning it up. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx
