electric choke wiring
Hopefully this has a simple answer.
The electric choke on my 2150 carb in not connected. P.O. removed the wiring. Where should I run a wire to for power? Does this use 12v at key-on or should it connect to the field connection on the alternator?
Thanks

If it is a 12 volt electric choke, you'll need to connect to a key on 12 volt source. Mine is on the accesory fuse at the fuse box. If it is a stock carb, the S or stator connection on the alternator is the place to connect it. Stator only makes power when the alternator is turning and engine running but it's 6 or 7 volts.
Good luck.

Field connection is best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think you mean STATOR connection on alternator ,as Designed by FORD.
12 volts constant will BURN UP the choke coil.
That's why smaller voltage at the alt.
This allows for power ONLY when alternator os turning (engine running)
Why would one want voltage to the choke when the engine Isn't running, especially almost double the power ?
You can link to this if you like ?
