Rich,
I agree with Roger, it would be easy to check with a meter, this is an interesting article on electric chokes and fuse size. It is for a Holley but I suspect other brands should be similar, I would start with 10 amp and check with a meter. The electric choke circuit on ALL of the time, wire size and fuse size are important.

Per this article it suggests a 10 amp fuse and warns against connecting to the ignition coil.
I did not go into detail in my last email but our cars with factory wiring are very easy to damage. ANY short on a circuit that is not fused will damage and can destroy a wiring harness.
My preference is a switched 12V supply used to trigger a relay that gets power directly from the big lug on the starter relay. The output of the relay should be fused. If more than one load needs switched 12V then a fuse block is a very good idea.

I have a really nice Ron Francis fuse block so I used a key on spare circuit. I am wondering what value fuse I should use?
