Centech wiring question, which wire for choke

Just installed a Edelbrock with electric choke, what a novelty coming from no choke.
Anyone know which wire/color is for choke. I know each wire is labeled but haven't found it yet.
Does it come out on passenger side or in middle group of wires
Thanks

I run a separate wire from the S or stator post on the alternator to the choke. It's not always part of the harness on the G1 alternator. This is only about 7-8 volts but plenty of amperage so the choke opens as fast as a 12V source. Some Ford harnesses include this wire but not all. So for most, a simple wire that's only about 1.5' long just runs from the S terminal to the thermostatic choke cap. There is only current when the engine is running, so the bi-metal coil doesn't burn out, a real danger with keyed 12V sources.

Think I'm going this route. Can't find white wire and have seen electric choke wires from alternator before
