Default Choke relay fuse location

OK, maybe it is me but which fuse would it be? I have tried to decipher the writing but I can't tell which one it would be and it was my understanding that this fuse was a dedicated fuse just to this relay. I have included a picture to help out as well. This is for an 80.

Seems to me that the only one it could be is the 20amp next to the inst.lp 7.5 amp fuse in the upper right corner. Chilton, for what it's worth, shows a 25amp fuse going to the choke (CHK is their designation). However, I only have one 25 amp in my fuse block. If this is it, please let me know. I would kinda like to know myself.

Hmm, my 81 does not appear to have relay or fuse. Seems to feed off fuseable link thru Ign switch

Thanks for the replies guys. I am just trying to narrow it down before I start the human origami of trying to pull them out at random to see if one is burned. This will give me a start point and I will let you know what I find. My fuse box looks exactly like the one I attached and I too, only have the one 25 amp fuse.

Here is the electrical page from the 1980 Corvette Shop Manual (from the Norwegian C3 site) concerning the choke fuse.



Per this description, it is the highlighted 20A fuse in the upper right (ark80 was right! )

Hope this helps!

Sweet. I ripped off my picture from the exact same pages but nothing was highlighted. I wonder why mine is just black and white? I haven't had a chance to pull it yet but I am hoping I find something weird there. Thanks again all.
