RE: Carb Installation
ORIGINAL: kalli
on my car
battery 12.5V
voltage at coil when ignition on: 6.5V
voltage at coil when engine running: 10.5V
I'm not sure if the power at coil when engine is running is regulated down or if it's just the fact that the cable is going through 1500 connectors and switches and fuses that are 40 years old. I guess it's the latter. So give it a try with coil. It might work. If it doesn't, then go for a relais that snaps already at 9V. problem solved

No. That will not work. If you actually take the time to read the other threads, you will find out that after-market electric chokes need a full 12 volts to operate correctly. The stator terminal on the alternator will not provide that, the coil will not provide that. As I said before, get a multi-meter and start probing. It really isn't that hard.
