7v or 12v Choke

I'm doing a 3g conversion on my 82 4.9 and I need to know how to tell if I have a 7v or 12v choke on my carb?

I think one of the guys on here said if you have a flat spade connector it's the 7v, and if you have a round pin connection it's the 12v.

Follow the wire from the choke and see if it goes to the back of the alternator. It's only a short wire...on my 302 it's only maybe 15" long? If yes, it should be 7v.

If it goes off to a relay somewhere I'd say it's a 12v.
