Holly Street Avenger Electric Choke
I have just installed a new Carburetor on my 65 coupe. I am not sure where to attach the red electric wire that comes out of the choke. Should it be atached directly to any 12 volt constant power supply or is there somewhere more specific around the engine.
Please help?

Holley Carb
Thank you Mike
Thank you Jack
I assume the ballast resistor is the small white block between the master cylinder and the distributor on the firewall. I see a red wire leading to it.
I just cant believe how much better the engine is running with this new carburetor. Finally my wife will stop complaining of the "smell". My old carb was runnig rich and fumes just repelled most people away.
The only thing that does not fit now is the air cleaner assembly. It sits too high. There are two screws on top of the carburetor that keep the air cleaner from sitting flush.
I am just wondering if there is some kind of an adapter that could work as a collar to seal the junction between the carburator and the air cleaner?
I read the old archives and realize that people who installed this exact carburator were very happy with its performance.
Your help is very much appreciated
Thanx everyone

as for your carb, my 65 had a Holley Street avenger on it when I acquired the car, and the SHP air cleaner base did not sit right on it without a plastic adaptor that seemed to simply add ~ 1/2 inch to the top of the carb, for clearence purposes.
If this lame-*** site actually had a consistently-working search function (how can it be that the search function is broken so often? Essential info exists in the archives, take some of the G.D. ad revenue and pay a techie to fix it!) you could find some info on that item.

Thanx Jack. The electric choke works great! The original black and pink wire was exactly where you said it would be. I called the carb supply place and they said that Eddelbrock makes a 1/2 inch spacer. I hope it solves the problem.
Thanks again everyone for your support

You should not hook anything to your ballast resistor. At least that is what I have been told.
I have my electric fuel pump and choke hooked to it. I do hope to change that as I am restoring now.

he is not being advised to hook something up to his ballast resistor per se, just to use the 12v side of it to tap into a perfect source of switched (only on when car is running) power. The elec choke pulls low amps, so even if he did hook it up to the "wrong" side of his ballast resistor I doubt anything bad would result, aside from the choke itself possibly not functioning due to the decreased voltage on that side

with ctjackster with hooking it up to the 12 volt supply side of the resistor. No problems will occur there.
