Choke power?

I just bought this car and it has a few little things wrong or missing that are keeping it from running smoothly. Slowly but surely though, thanks to you guys at A Bodies only, I'm getting it together. The electric choke was hooked directly to the distributor, which generally is not a good place to get power. I know it should be connected to a switched source. I'm not really looking to wrench my neck going under the dash to connect into the fuse box right now. I've seen where it can be wired to the alternator with a relay...maybe later.
My question is to make it easy for now, can I go to the ballast resistor and if so which side?
