Are these two names synonymous?
Is the carb idle stop solenoid wire the same switched ignition source I need to power the electric choke on my holley? It appears so from my wiring diagram but I want to be sure before I fry something.
Thanks.

Not even close.

It depends on the car. On some cars, the idle stop solenoid is connected to ignition power so that the throttle is held open while the engine is running then closes fully when the key is off to prevent dieseling. If that is how yours is wired, it will work for the electric choke. On other cars the solenoid is normally retracted and is only powered under high load conditions, such as when the A/C compressor is on. In that case, it will not be suitable for use on the choke.
