quick electric choke question

Alright I was hooking up all the wiring on my car today and realized I havent wired up the choke on my holley 670 street avenger. I am pretty sure I know how to do it but I wanted to check since its been a while since ive been around a carb. So all i have to do is run the red wire to the positive terminal on the dist. and the black wire to a ground right?

The red wire off the choke gets 12v ign (not constant hot).

Yes, black is ground.

you DONT want to hook it to the coil wire.


you want the coil wire to use all the energy it can.

run the choke wire into the car... use one of the grommets by the drivers feet. the speedo cable one works fine...

put a male spade connector on and connect it to a ign on power source on the fuse panel.
