Electric choke shouldn't have a vacuum line to it, just an electric power line. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think that you should just have to hook up a switched 12v to the choke, a little adjustment, and it should be all smiles.

Well if you see a vacuum port on the choke I'd find an open vacuum source and try it, but remember what you did, so you can go back if this doesn't work. They make "t" fittings that you can use to splice an existing vacuum line to make a new vacuum source if you can't find one. I'm used to Holleys, Carters, and Edelbrocks, which all have that vacuum system internal to the carb.
