Electric Choke

So in our attempts at fixing up the new truck, we've discovered that in addition to disconnected vacuum lines, the carburetor also has no switched power line going to it. I'm attaching a picture to this post. Is this picture of the electric choke? I've also attached a picture of 2 loose electrical connectors that we can't find a spot for. This are running out of the wire loom that runs next to the carb. Any idea what these two connectors are for? Is one of them by chance for the electric choke?

If this is the electric choke, and neither of those connectors are for it, then where DO I get the connector to clip on to the electric choke?

Sorry for all of the stupid questions. Just trying to get this truck running smoothly in the next week.

Re: Electric Choke

It's real blurry to me, but it looks like the one on the right goes to the
choke, and the one on the left goes to the temp sensor/sender on the head.
I need a better pic to be sure.

Re: Electric Choke

Where about on the head is the temp sender at? I can go take a look right quick and see if its disconnected, and if so, your thoughts are probably right.

Re: Electric Choke

It should be on the right side, kinda in between the sparkplugs.

Re: Electric Choke

Well, the temp sender is already plugged in. Tested the wires today, and both of them get + when the keys are on, so I'm going to go see which one of them fits on the choke...That still leaves one wire that's not connected, though. I'll take better pictures in a bit.
