Holley 650 Electric Choke Help

Where is the positive lead for the choke hooked up??? You need a keyed to the ignition on 12 volt source...

From the video, it looks like you have it hooked up to the coil ---> That's a no-no - the coil positive has only 6 volts....

Hook it up to the ballast resistor input side... To find the input side of the ballast, disconnect the wires from both sides of the ballast resistor, then take a test light with the clamp end hooked to the battery negative, then probe each of the ballast resistor wires that you disconnected for power with the key in the on position... Whichever wire makes the test light go on, is the input positive side of the ballast, that is what you want to hook up to... I use a flat blade piggyback terminal and stack the two, but you can just wire them together if you wish...


After you get the proper connections for the choke, then you will need to reset the fast idle choke screw and put the electric choke to the center of the adjustment and go from there... A good way to get a ball park for the adjustment of the pod, is to get the engine warmed up and rotate the pod until the top plate for the choke is just fully open... Then try a few more cold starts and see where you are at and adjust from there...
The choke is on battery power through a relay triggered by switched ignition. I just have the wire tucked in with the factory harness on the firewall. I'll have to reset the choke settings and start over. I didn't know that coil output was 6 volts though!
