Electric choke wiring
 
I have an 87 C10 (R10). I want to hook up an Edelbrock carb electric choke. I replaced the electric oil pressure sender with a mechanical gauge. Can I use the wire fore the old wire pressure sender to power the electric choke? If not, what is the easiest way to get power to the choke?

The oil pressure sender would not be a good choice. Any 12v source that's on when the engine is running would work.

I tapped into my wiper motor with a wire tap (blue thingy)

I also added a fuse

My '70 C10 fuse box had two (unfused) terminals that were activated by the ignition switch. I used one for my HEI and one for electric choke. I used inline fuses for both. Pretty easy connection, and Amazon had nice inline fuses.
