Hey all, can someone tell me the best place to get power for electric choke? PO had it wired up but turns out no power to that source.

I would think any fused switched circuit that can handle the amperage but don't use the positive coil wire...that's what "they" say anyway.

do you still have the gen on it?

Yes it still has the generator.

I just looked on my 64 with a gen ,,,,started to suggest just hooking to the battery term at rear of gen,as it would be close,,,but I ain't for sure if that would be wise,,as that wire would always be hot....might be better to run a keyed on only wire from under dash out to the carb,,good luck ...

A ‘64 ignition switch has a 10-32 stud coming straight out the back, it is hot when the key is on. If you connect to it the choke will work. It maybe a good idea to install a fuse between the connection and the choke coil.
I prefer a manual choke myself.
