Im in the process of finishing up my motor swap in my car. I need to wire in the electric choke. But what can I tap into. The carb is a holley, the manual said to tap into the wiper motors power. I know it needs to be switched 12v and taping into the wiper motor would be easy but what wire can I use. The car is an 89 and was origionally TBI. I cut all the uneeded wires out of the harness also. What has everyone else used?

i did the same swap. i used one of the switched wires that ran up on top of the motor. works for me. i don't know about the wiper motor. mine was right there. where did you cut the wires? at the main plug or up on top of the motor?

 

I cut them back to the main plug for the ECM. I had the harness out of the car when i did it.

ok. i ran my wires and then cut back. you could run a wire to the switch power. of i can check my car to see if there is a switch power on the wiper motor.

 

I looked at the wiring diagrams but couldnt pick out which wire was power for the wiper motor. I figure that would prolly be the easiest or atleast closest power wire. The length that holley gives is just right to run to the wiper motor.

my car is in my garage. give me a min. i will check them with a test light.

 

the green wire is the switched wire on the wiper assembly

about 10 mins from foxwoods. we just had like 4 car shows out here this past weekend. some nice 3rd gens around here. hell yea. i am having a prob with mine but should be fixed soon. what fuel pump/ fuel regulator are you running?

 

Stock TBI pump with a mallory 4309 reg. Right before i started the motor swap i had the rear out. Shoulda done a pump then. O well. You?

 

mallory 4309 with a holley blue. best thing i did was ditch that in tank pump. my only prob now is i cannot get my fuel press below 9 psi. used to but not now.
