Carb. with an Elect. choke on it. Going on a car that never had Elect. choke. Where would I get a source for the Elect. choke? How should it be wired? Thanks OK, having looked at a few you tube vids. I see that the power source should come from a "key on" power source. Such as the "Ignition" area of the fuse box. This look Ok/make sense to you out there? I'm ready to start on this project.

The factory used the 12V feed to the ballast in applications that had electric assist chokes. It's a switched 12v and is usually a blue wire at the ballast. Just make sure it is the feed to the ballast side and not the output from the ballast to the coil.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Ok! I have a few pics to share. Laugh all you want. But I'm liking it. Jim, I just couldn't get the divorced choke to work right. I couldn't get it to run right. The throttle shafts were bleeding vacuum leaks. I went with a Eddy cause of the elect. choke. Works great. I've lived and learned. Gecko, my Duster doesn't have a choke, nor a choke horn for that matter. But she's a beast that doesn't let the weather bother her. The truck, on the other hand is still subject to smog laws. Back to the pics.
