It'll take forever to disengage if it's only relying on ambient heat. They don't reproduce the tube assembly that slips into the heat crossover and bolts to the intake? Inline tube may have it for your model year. Nothing works better than the hot air choke when everything is installed correctly and adjusted to spec. The only time I tried electric, it would open too slow.

If you do convert to electric, remember to not only seal the fitting, but also the small orifice inside the choke housing from which the vacuum signal sucks in that hot air from the crossover. That orifice also serves as the bypass air on a late of later carburetors, so you may need to increase your idle speed a little bit.
