I'm trying to add an electric choke on my 1966 Chevy c-10. The original fuse block is full because of other things I have added in the past. I'm trying to figure out how to get power to the choke with out space on the fuse panel. I'm giving some thought to adding a small fuse block for this. How have some of you overcome this type of situation? Help appreciated.

You'll want to wire it through your ign switch (or relay) so it's only hot with the key "on". You can wire in an in-line fuse for circuit protection.

Pull a wire from the ignition wire on the starter to the choke, and simply run an in-line fuse for it. Probably a 20 amp fuse should get it.
