Any switched 12V power source should be fine. If you have a multimeter, just check any wires you have around that area for 12V when the key is on and when it is off. Once you find one that comes on with the key, that's the one to use.

On my car, it was a red wire and a little fatter than the rest.

Yeah, I'd have told you what mine looked like, but I don't have that car anymore and can't remember what the wire looked like to save my life. Sorry.

This is the only picture I have of that area, but doesn't show anything that would help with the choke wiring really.
