Sorry for butting in but can the power feed be from the HEI dizzy feed?

 Probably will need a 12volt source.

 Any 12volt source should do.

be careful stealing from the dizzy supply. i had problems at wot. thought it was a fuel supply problem .ended  up be a voltage problem.fwiw

Schurkey:
Given a choice, I'd prefer a power source that is not "hot" with the key in Accessory, Off, or Crank.  Hot with the key in "Run" only.  The choke does not need to heat during extended crank time.

I'd also run the power through an oil-pressure switch, so the choke does not continue to heat if the engine stalls while you're inside having a cup of coffee waiting for the car to warm up.
