electric choke question

I just submitted a question to the Edelbrock tech line.
I don't think they can tell us how much load the blue wire / switched hot circuit in a pre 70 a-body can handle. They do know that attaching at the coil or the wrong side of ballast resistor would result in less than 12 volts to their choke ( due to the ballast resistor ), whether the choke robs voltage from other circuits or not.
