electric choke for holley
What voltage goes into recent holley carburators to make the electric choke work? I have to replace the wire and need to know what specs to use for it, and where to hook it up to get the proper voltage.
I don't know what model the carburator is, so if that makes a difference, could someone help me identify?

A full 12 volts.

The positive side of the coil on cars running an inline ballast resistor or resistor wire is a 12-volt source only during cranking. With the engine running, it is just a 5- to 7-volt source. You can draw positive power directly from the fusebox by connecting the positive lead to the "Ignition" jumper cavity.
