[DeTomaso] 12V For The Holley Choke

[SOBill at aol.com]

I know of no place in the Pantera engine compartment which provides  
ignition switched 12 volts.
 
The Stator terminal of the Pantera alternator is used to provide 6  volts 
to the Ford Autolite carburetor choke when the engine is running. As 6  volts 
is 1/2 the voltage required by the Holley choke, the choke will only draw  
1/2 the normal current and will produce only 1/4 the normal heating effect. 
The  Holley choke connected to the Pantera alternator Stator terminal will 
take  4x  longer than normal to fully open.
 
If you remove the passenger door side seat belt anchor,  it is easy to run 
a wire aft to the engine compartment and  forward to the area of the fuse 
box. Splice the new wire into a wire on the  fuse side of Fuse 11 or 12 and 
connect the other end to the Holley choke. You  will now have the Holley choke 
active with 12 volts in the START and RUN  positions of the IGNITION switch.
 
Have fun  today,
