Can I power up my choke with plugging in to a under dash yellow (acc.key on)port?
Seems like a good fused place for it.

Electric choke?

Use the blue wire feeding the alt field... thats how factory made it. You can untape the engine harness there around the choke and splice it in there. In fact, what factory made is install an electronic unit to control that feed to the stock manifold mounted element and is sourced from the line I'm talking about. ( if 73 and lates, harness got the provission for it )
Thank You!!
Spliced the choke wire into the harness and used factory style plastic jacked terminal. Looks like it came from mopar that way. Thanks Again Nacho

Is that choke controller attached to the coil bracket in the foto?

Is not attached to the coil bracket, but sharing same mounting bolt at manifold for the coil bracket. That is for small block. Big blocks mounts on a head bolt provision and the controller got a ballast resistor attached to set dual voltage stages depending on engine bay temperature. Will grab a pic and post

this is big block ( pic from odzking's 73 SE restoration album )
( uses same head provision circled on driver side, but being turned around, provision changes to rear )
blue RUN wire on engine harness runs like this on BBs since 73, so an untouched harness should have this provision there.
and this is the correct choke control for BB... with the ballast attached to set dual voltage stages depending on engine temperature:

Well, in the black and white factory style foto already posted, the intake manifold bolts look a step lower than the bolt holding the choke controller. That's why I was asking if that was in common with the small block coil bracket.
I am interested because of the recent purchase of NOS electric choke controller and electric choke (going to change factory SB intake manifold from '72 to '73 style.
