After several months of wrangling with the various broken sockets, butchered splices, and sundry Bubba fixins I finally got all my courtesy lights working on my 69. So I'll take a small victory lap, but I have another
issue I hoped others could help me with. I installed an electric choke kit from Holley and now I need to find a hot feed that only works when the ignition key is turned on.
The photo is from another C3, but the idea is the same...
Basically I want to use the ACC post on the fuse box, thinking this will only work when the key is on. So my first question is - does this sound like a good idea? And then, I was wondering the fuse size for the
ACC post and it's not clearly marked on the block itself nor is the fuse rating listed in the factory assembly manual.

my electric choke is plugged into one of the spades next to a fuse. I assume the fuse protects the spade too since there are factory connections going to spade connectors next to other fuses
73 Fuse Block with A31 &UF1 options.
Here's photo of a 73 fuse block. (Not my car!) Same as the one you show. Note this car has two options. The Gray wires plug is for the lighted Map Light UF1 on the rear view mirror. The Pink wires are for the Power Windows option A31. So, I would think for sure the connection on the block for these would need the ignition turned on. (For sure the PW, identified by Ignition on the block). Hope this helps!

Thanks - Do you think the fuse rating is on the left of those connectors?
Yes, that is correct. The ratings are on the left side for that side of the FB and on the right side edge for those fuses on the right side of the FB. Make sense?

Got the courtesy lights working!
