electric choke power source

Anyone have suggestions on where to get power for my new Summit carb electric choke? I have read that the fused ignition is not the best idea because the choke will heat when the key is in ACC. I am almost finished with an intake/carb/dizzy upgrade- anxious to get these last few details buttoned up and fire it back up.

Also going to add an aftermarket tach- wondering where the best place might be to tap 12v for it?

Find an unfused plug on your fuse box under the dash. Should be a couple there.
They're usually only 12v when the ignition is on. Check with a test light to be sure.
