Maybe tap the wire into the blue "run" wire off the ignition? I'm not sure what is stock. I guess you could run the wire to a switch if you wanted to.

I used key on power from the alternator field.

EZ to do..
Get a dual male 0.25" tab connector to a 0.25" female tab connector available everywhere. Connect to 12V input terminal on the ballast resistor, reconnect the original lead to 1 side of the dual tab connector and run a separate wire lead from the other side of the dual tab connector to the choke...
No cutting or splicing, very clean..

Just my $0.02.. wink

This is also a good method to run a hot wire to the pertronix!
