Electric choke source

[Ratvon]

Where is a good place to get a 12 volt source for a Holley electric choke can't really go to the ballast resistor because that's where my pertronix 3 is getting its power I seen a guy talking about getting a 3-way oil sending unit but I believe those are only five volts going to the sending unit and I don't know if that would work if anybody has any input on that I would appreciate it

I believe you can splice a wire off the small (positive) field wire on the back of the alternator. I think it is only hot when the engine is running; and when off the choke should not drain the battery. Please double check this with a volt meter.

Solid blue wires (under the hood) are hot with the key on. If you have a factory harness, there should already be a connector somewhere near the carb.

Correct.
