I havecone on my Holley but ain't never hooked one up before it has the two tabs on the side of it one goes to a ground what's the opted one go to. I know the oil temp switch has something to do with it but I don't know and don't want to burn something up
-
12V switched is all you need. Holley recommends running a new seperate wire for it, and the ground wire can be grounded to the carb to keep it neat.

Ok make sense. I was thinking the oil temporary had something to do with it but the Carb itself has a thermostat in it to open and close the choke. Didn't want to hook it up till I knew I wouldn't cause smoke and fire lol
-
cause smoke and fire
Smoke and fire are good things when talking about an engine. No smoke and fire, no run.
that's why we have coolant systems and exhausts. ;D

lol

It says the 12V wire should be fused. I spliced into my existing wire so it's fused at the box.
-
So if its 80 out and I hook the choke up to 12v fused and nothing happens that's good right lol. How would I see it it does work

Check out the tail end of this video. The choke cap will feel warm after it's had power to it for a while too.
