I got a new Edelbrock perfromer carb and I need to wire up the electric choke. I know I have to ground the negative, but what should I hook the positive up to?

You hook the positive up to switched ignition. Switched ignition is +12 volts with the key on.

Yep, don't hook it up to a straight source that stays on... or your choke will always be on.

Okay, so I just hook it up to anyhting that goes on when the key is only in the "on" position? Can someone give me an example?

Thanks. :)

The + lead to your coil is +12v ignition. You can also look at your fuse block, it will have a couple spots on it to plug in additional circuits. they are labeled 'ign'.
