Is the Choke Relay necessary on a non cc set-up?

I pulled all the wires from the pass. side harness route, so there are no more cc controlls.

I did re-install the Choke Relay as I have a 750 Holley with an electric choke. I'm not so sure that I got it wired correctly as I have only 2 Volts at the + side of the choke.

The engine is new and I haven't started it yet but with just the key in the on position what voltage should I see? What is the basic function of the relay and do I even need it?

Thanks

The choke relay turns power to the choke off when the engine isn't running with the key in the on position.

I have the same setup on my 87 Z, I deleted my harness, and ran the choke directly from the carb to a switch panel under my steering column. I have mo relay, and choke is working fine-Good luck
