Edelbrock 1406 install
Help, I have a '72 Cutlass Supreme, with a 350 (K VIN) I recently purchased an Edelbrock 1406 w/electric choke. Any ideas installing the red wire to an ignition key activated 12V source (other than coil or alternator) as stipulated by Edelbrock?

there are all kinds of switched "hot" wires under the hood. i would get a fluke and test some wires that are near the carb. make sure to test them with the car on and off to make sure it is hot only when the car ignition is on. I have an edelbrock on my 72 but it is manual choke so i just took mine off. it starts hard when its cold, but runs like a champ once warmed up.

The best way to do this is to route the +12V wire through an oil pressure switch first so that the choke is only active if the engine is actually running. I use this one:

The outer two terminals are the ones to use for the choke. If you have an OIL idiot light, the center terminal will operate the light.

Thanks Green supreme, Red Dog, Joe P.; good looking out. I realize Edelbrock doesn't want to assume any liabilities, however, it would sure help if they would offer suggestion out of the box.
Hey, how can I ad a pic to my account? Not sure how all this stuff works.

click on "user cp" which is an option on the menu bar above just to the left of FAQ. Then on the left margin there are options for editing. Select edit avatar and upload the picture you want, just be sure to select a picture that is less than 97k.

Thanks OG, I had to send a message to tech support because it wouldn't work. Something about limited access.
Hey BlueV. No relation to the late 50's western with the Stallion, however, more of a fan of the '58 Plymouth Fury as depicted in "Christine".

About the same year anyway.
I loved that horse.
Christine the Fury, I get it now.
I took my driver's test in a 1964 Plymouth Fury wagon.

I too am having a small problem with the red wire. Edelbrock's video tech says to tap into the fuse box under the dash. My problem is I do not have the wire that was supposed to come with the 1406 Carb electric choke. I'm trying to get one, but what's a good DIY solution? Joe I know your loving all my posts lately
