I guess 12 bolts from coil works but it is generally accepted that is NOT the way to do it.

Fair enough, but the internet on this topic seems to be all over the place like a dog's breakfast. So many different opinions. In the end I trusted someone that was more experienced than me. With electrics, I know enough to be dangerous.
I'm still prepared to see how it goes, but so far the car and choke seem to be running well.
I have the Pertronix system and when we checked the voltage with engine running, there didn't seem to be any issues.
I guess I could add an inline fuse to the choke?
When I had the car rewired, the auto electric guy fitted headlight relays etc and I've converted the taillights and many bulbs over to LED. I don't think the car is struggling with power drainage anywhere.
I'm not sure what else to add?

I'd never seen an alternator terminal labeled D+, so I looked it up.  Apparently, the label comes from the old generators as Dynamo +; regardless, in an alternator this connected to the alternator dash light.  I think you have a "one wire" alternator and I don't think it has a Stator terminal.  I know you're probably just going to leave your choke wired to your ignition; but, based on the AutoWire information that circuit is not fused.  See:
https://www.americanautowire.com/view-faq/i-need-to-wire-an-electric-choke-on-my-carburetor-where-can-i-pick-up-a-feed-to-do-this/.  They also say don't use the ignition circuit but if you do then fuse it. 

Thanks Rufus.
I will probably leave it on the coil. For the time being anyway...
With the fuse, I'm happy to add an inline fuse for an added safe guard. Do you think a 15 amp would be good enough?

While I was reading about chokes and alternators, I read that an electric choke usually draws about 1.5amps.  So you could even put a smaller fuse if it is only to feed the choke.

Just curious, but where did he get the power for the headlight relays?7

I'm not quite sure MS. Below are some photos of my engine bay, with the relays.

Rufus68 - I have a 5amp fuse thats supports my electric choke, feed the the Sun tach and the roll-control solenoid.  A 3amp fuse should work well if you're only powering the elect choke. 

I like your clean engine compartment, but I would perish without AC!
