Just a tip. It took me 2 days to figure this one out.. Not having had an Electric Choke before.. I have mine wired to the Wiper Motor and it has been working great since I got the motor in and running. The other day I am working on the inside of the car, I have no gauges in yet and the wiring is all hanging...and I have my temporary 2 gauge pod in there poorly wired up for now on the tranny hump.
I was doing some carb tuning and the car just wouldnt idle well when I first fired it up.. It was troubling to me.. I thought maybe my rockers had loosened,,, maybe my timing had slipped,... Cam was wiping...all kinds of thoughts...I decided NOT to frantically start changing anything but I did check those things and all seemed ok... I went back in the car the next day to fire it and check the oil pressure again. Poor Idle....Looking at the gauges I noticed the Water Temp gauge was non responsive... Realized I had blown a fuse fiddling with the wires... Changed the fuse, choke works great... Whew..

A tip? I don't think so! lol
You go to all the trouble of checking the rockers, ignition timing and adjusting the carburetor but fail to notice the black smoke from the tail pipes and 3/4 closed choke flap? My Dad always warned me about beer fridges in the garage.
