My choke light is on all the time what could be the problem. The car runs fine its a 305 with a q-jet. Anybody have any ideas?

 

Does it buzz? If so check the choke heater fuse, otherwise check the choke relay or the alternator.

It's the "Alternator" light too. You probably need one of those.

any idea where the choke relay is?

 

In the inconvenience center under the dash.

 

You need an alternator. Doesn't matter whether the choke relay is buzzing or not. Get yours tested. Don't fiddle around with a bunch of esoteric "maybe it's the wobbulator overbiasing the feeblevetzer" crap.

I agree, check the easy stuff first--the alternator.

Just take the dash face off and put black electrical tape over the little choke light window.

Problem solved and talk about simple!

If the car runs fine and is charging, why would he need an alternator?
