NO! This is a common mistake. The coil only gets about 9V when the engine is running, and it doesn't need the choke taking any of that away. Wire the choke into a good 12V source that is hot whenever the ignition is on.
By the way, electric chokes work great, I've had many and wouldn't have a carburetor without one.
Also, Summit has Holleys with electric chokes for $150!? That sounds awful cheap.
Also, if you don't need a new carb, you could probably retrofit an electric choke kit (about $40) onto your carb, depending on what model it is.
