Electronic Choke Question.
I am restoring a 1982 Corvette and some time in the past the previous owner replaced the TBI with a Rochester Carb - 17083204. This has an electric choke, but it was not hooked up to anything, and I do not have a clue where it goes. Does anyone know where I should hook this up, or should I try and find a Therostatic/hot air choke. If this is the case, does anyone know where I can find one? I am having trouble finding this as well.
Thanks in Asvance,
CM

The electric choke will work fine for most uses. It should be connected to a 12 volt wire that is only hot when the ignition is on. I used the heater blower wire to tap off of.
If you are going to use a hot air choke you'll have to have a manifold that has provisions for the hot air tube. It's an odd retangle shape on the right side of the manifold at about the #6 cylinder.
