Calling all electrical experts! I need a consultation.

Got my rebuilt 383 ready to fire this afternoon after 9 months 
work--removed engine and transmission, rebuilt both (I did the engine), 
and put everything back together this spring. Put the finishing touches 
on it today, then tried to start it for the first time. Exciting!

Turned over, but no fire (it was getting gas). Well, almost a fire, but 
the wrong kind. Where there's smoke, there's a hot wire, and it turned 
out to be the "blue" wire from from the firewall to the ignition ballast 
resister to the IGN side of the voltage regulator. 

First question: Wha happened?

Now, it's possible that the engine didn't fire because I have the timing 
180 degrees off, but we'll save that for later. 

Second question: From where do a run a wire to my new electric choke on 
the Holley?

Thanks in advance, and I'd be happy to give you a call if it's easier to 
explain over the phone.

it done!)
