Re: electric choke
The terminal that you have all this stuff connected to is the original bypass for the coil. When the starter terminal is activated, then the bypass terminal becomes activated, supplying battery voltage, non-resistance, to the coil. This bypass terminal will be "hot" with the key on, but not full battery voltage, because it is coming from the ballast resistor. Put a volt meter on it with the engine running and compare that reading to the battery itself. You mentioned an hei dist., the module in these are power hogs and need full battery voltage, fed thru a 12 gauge wire, look at any GM car and see for yourself
