[DeTomaso] Electric Choke

[SOBill at aol.com]

The electric choke method shown in the previous emails did not come from  
me.
 
The Autolite carb choke operates on 6 volts which can  be taken from the 
stator terminal of the alternator. I have not see an  electrical connection 
for the choke on any Pantera electrical diagrams.  My Autolite carb has no 
choke heater wiring.
 
Holley carbs require 12 volts for the choke. I know of no convenient place  
to find ignition switched 12 volts in the Pantera engine compartment. You 
could  connect the Holley choke to the alternator stator terminal but it 
would take 4x  (half the voltage, half the current, one fourth the power) longer 
to heat  up.
 
You could run a fused wire from the supply side of Fuse #11 (the Engine Run 
 Buss) thru the rocker tunnel (easy to do via the seatbelt side anchor 
opening)  to the Holley choke. This would require no relay and will only heat 
the  choke when the ignition is in Run.
 
 
 
The main  thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Do the best you can with what  your have where you are.
Have fun  today!
