Hello,
Building a motor and using a EMPI 32/36 DFEV electric choke carburetor. Does anyone know which wire in the engine compartment might hook up to the electric choke? Thanks... |

Get your power from the #15 (+) post on the coil.
It's a switched circuit. Key on, Power to the coil and choke. Key off, No power.
Good Luck.

| It's a good idea to put an inline fuse in the wire to protect the harness and ignition switch . |

The MSD will need an ignition switched power source. The same power source can power your choke coil.
