Guru, How did you wire your electric choke on the 390 carb? Reading through this and other threads I find different ways. Some say to the coil others say not to the coil. Others are invited to weigh in on this. ScottAs a rule, never wire the electric choke to an ignition circuit. This creates a voltage drop which potentially either causes the ignition module to fail prematurely or just creates a situation where the engine misses due to not having enough voltage to the ignition coil. An electric choke needs to wired to a circuit independent of the ignition but still turns on and off with the ignition switch.
