Where is the best place to wire in an electric choke? Can it be wired into the positive terminal of the coil?
Alternator field circuit... You only want the choke powered when the car is running, not when the key is on..
this is the easiest and what i do.I used the 12v side of my ballast resistor, and used a single male to double male piggyback splitter like this one. No cutting or splicing.View attachment 379108
Holley and edelbrock both recommend in the instructions to use an ignition activated 12 volt power source.
I never thought of using the field side of the alternator. Has this worked for you just fine? What amp inline fuse do you use?

That is correct!If you have the original wiring harness, wouldn't there be a connection right there near the carb?
Okay, I wired it into the ACC output on the fuse block.
that will source it when key in ACC which is incorrect, must be just when car goes to be on ignition process. If you put the key on ign for some time, then start up the engine, the choke will be opened incorrectly.
