it really doesn't matter how many volts are going through it since it works off of heat like current(Amps) beasue that is what provides heat i have always used the i terminal and never had a problem

 

The electric choke folks say it has to be 12 volts. No mention of amps.

When in doubt, read the instructions. Does not apply to those under 25 years of age.

You owe me a beer Jim. I just spewed mine all over my monitor.

 

If my choke works ... i'll buy you both a beer. A beer from belgium ... you'll never want anything else anymore

 

I know exactly what you are talking about. I lived in Germany for 9 years. Ein bier, bitte.

 

Michael,
Grolsch is one of my favorite imports, although I'm now a self-proclaimed professional wino.
I hope you understand my jumper wire suggestion. I take great pains in not cutting into wiring to install anything in a car. There are always viable options other than the 'slash and burn' tactics used.It takes a little research using a wiring diagrambut the time spent will always pay off. The irony is that most of the same color codes used in early Mustangs is used in todays Mustangs.

I understand your suggestion. And i will certainly try it. However my previous carb beforei changed the manifold was an Autolite 2100 with electric choke and ithad a connection to the starting relay, that i do remember, and thats the reason why i asked. I don't know if this was an original connection.

PS: Grolsch ? You obviously haven't tried "Duvel", "Chimay" or "Leffe". If your ever are in the neighbourhood, make sure you make a pitt stop at my house.

 

Michael,
Did you ever hear of California wines? They are cheaper than gasoline, which I might add is at $2.99 today, right here in Silicon Valley.
Seriously, there is no fuse in the line if you connect to the solenoid, so keep that in mind.
Jim

 

Been there, tried those, loved them
I'm going for the heater wire solution i think.
