I don't have a choke on my Holley (removed it), but as I recall, back in the old, old days, you had to run the source for an electric Holley choke from a circuit that was only hot when the engine was actually running. If you ran it from something like the accessory circuit, that was hot when you turn the key to just listen to the radio, then you burned up your choke element because it needed to have air sucked across it (from the engine running) when it was energized. I think that's what I remember, but that's a long time ago and certainly trivial. Surely it's not the same now.
