[COBALT]

I'm mounting this new carb and since I'm converting from a little 2bbl 327 setup to a full-out performer setup I've had plenty of fun yanking the intake, and generally taking everything apart and replacing everything I can get my hands on.

I've been wondering about how I'm going to set up the electric choke. The directions call out for a 12v source that's controlled by the ignition switch. What has everyone done to get theirs working? I assume it either uses its own ground (where?), but the positive has to lead to a source that is controlled by the key, and NOT the coil or alternator (duh, no kidding). Any ideas?

Also, I realized I was going to have to do something about the detent switch for my TH400. My old setup consisted of an old stock switch that mounted to the 2bbl carb, so the wires are right under the hood. I ordered a kit from Lokar, which uses a cable similar to the TH350, only it connects to a cable-actuated electric switch contained in a box that mounts to the transmission. I haven't seen it yet so I don't even know if I did the right thing by ordering it. I also don't know if the cable will attach to the throttle linkage. Anyone use this? If so how does it connect? If not what was your setup instead?

Finally, I'm taking this opportunity to straighten out the wiring for the coil, the starter, and the temp guage wire. Before this little project they were simply in the way and tied to whatever I could find with zip-ties (looks crappy), so I'm thinking about what would be a good way to either secure these wires so they're out of the way (wire clips? Secure around the heater box?) or even hide them completely. What's everyone done?

Sorry for all the Q's after midnight, but I can't sleep!
