Guys....this is not a stock '57 F-100. It's running a Mustang 5.0L bored and stroked to Coyote Specs with 5-Speed and 3:56 Rear Gear. Alternator and Electronic system. So the truck may look stock....but, I can assure you it is not ! There is more engine than truck for an old man !! LOL

There is no resistor at all mounted. The instructions show running the choke wire to ignition switch with fuse, but as I said....it is almost impossible to get to in that part of the dash. I would have to take out the seat and parking brake lever and a brace under the dash. Not a pleasant task to say the least.

So with all that said....if I run a wire from the choke through a smaller amp fuse....where would I attach the wire in the engine compartment without going through all the gymnastics of trying to hook up to Ign Switch ?

Thx.....Mike
