78 choke wiring
I cant seem to find the wiring for the choke on the 78 wiring diagram.
Can anyone tell me what color wire goes to the choke and where it terminates?
This car (78) has a lead going from the choke to an oil sending unit on the back of the block, which has two leads, and then the other routes into the wiring harness...looks Bubba'd to me.
The oil pressure sending unit is on the side below the exhaust manifold.

Apparently he changed to an electric choke. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-1932/ (you can read the instructions if you want)
He is searching for a live wire. Most of the times guys hook it straight to the wiper motor to get a constant.
Doing it with a sending unit like this, does not send current to the choke unless the engine is running ie. you have oil pressure.
By not doing it this way when you just turn the key and not start the engine, you have energy over at the choke.
Look and see if that wire isnt hooked up inside, my 2nd wire is to the wiper wire and IF you don't like it run the wire directly to the wiper.
