just read on a hot rod forum: " I just tested the current draw on an electric choke I had sitting around. For the first 1/4 second, it spiked at 6.5 amps and dropped to 1.3 amps. After that, as the coil heats up, it steadily dropped from 1.3 and leveled out at about .75 amps."
If we could measure the resistance of the choke coil in ohms we could come up with the amp draw..no?
