there is no electric choke wire...the stock carb works off of hot air choke tubes

The choke is not electrical, apparently. Must be a bi-metallic spring operated by a heat pipe off the manifold....

7T1 is correct, 79's did not have an electric choke. The choke operates off of a hot air tube from the intake.

These are the internal and external tubes for the 1979 choke. I drove a 1979 for 17 years.
