Choke ???

[BB72CHEVKT]

I had my stock quadrajet rebuilt and it does great but I am do not know what to do about the choke. It has the factory choke that has a rod that goes to a theromostat on the intake. Well the coil for the thermostat appears to be worn out and I can not get it reconnected properly. The truck will run and start fine but if I drive it say 30 miles and park it it will not start back up because I belive the choke is on and since it is hot will not start unless someone holds choke open. Should I just go to a manual choke set up with a cable or does someone know where I can get the factory(preferred, truck is all stock) setup? This is a 69 with no choke on the dash so again I prefer stock set up. Thanks
