Re: Electric Choke Issues '69 C10

Welcome aboard. Leaving the key in the ignition should not cause the battery to be drained.
The first thing I would do is test the circuit to make sure it is de-energizing when the key is off. Use a test light or a voltmeter and hook one lead to the power lead you ran from the fuse box to the choke. The other to a good ground or the negative post on the battery. With the key on you should have at least 12 volts and it should go to zero when the key is switched off.
If not then things get more involved.
Can you post a picture of the fuse panel and identify which wire you are using for the choke? That may help us solve your problem.
