What do you connect positive 1980 k5 blazer to edlebrock 1406?

Answer 1

I assume you mean the electric choke. If it has two wire lugs on it one will go to ground (-) and the other (+) will go to the wire coming from the alternator that turns off the charge/alt indicator lamp in the instrument panel in the dashboard once the engine is running and the alternator is charging -- this is usually the smallest wire going into the alternator, without knowing which alternator you are using I can't make a definite recommendation, but most of the older GM alternators had 3 wires going to them -- the big one that bolts to the back of the alternator -- you don't hook it to this one, then there's usually a red and a brown one that plugs into the side of the case, If this is what you have it's the smaller gauge brown wire that goes to the indicator lamp, the red one is usually a much heavier gauge. If you have a different alternator you'll need a wiring diagram to show you which of the wires to use. Since yours is a 1980, if it has the stock alternator the two wires that plug into the side of the alternator plug right into the voltage regulator, and it would indeed be the smaller of the two wires (not the heavy red one) that you'd hook the (+) positive side of the electric choke up to, if the alternator has been changed to something else or you're using a one wire alternator these directions are not going to help you much. Some electric chokes ground through the carburetor itself -- in this case there's only one wire that needs to be hooked to it -- the positive one that heats that choke spring when the engine is running. Wish I could be more specific, but hopefully this gets you headed in the right direction.
