You might contact Stromberg, they're still kicking, and may have a solution of something current that might work. ie, My standard Stromberg parts comment.

Might be one of those things were you're better off with the manual choke and why it was changed back in the day/if it didn't come that way... Is there a service bulletin out there? Manual chokes were quite the easy/best method back in the day. I used to have to go out under the hood in the cold and jam a screwdriver down the plate when the spring stayed shut due to inclement weather conditions. I would've liked a manual. Infinitely adjustible, where these mechanicals are "iffy".

I went through this on a choke 'modifier'. I got all the parts all the way from New Zealand, and it was "original" but wasn't worth the powder to blew it up. One of those "advancements" that was quickly ushered off the world stage. I went with an electric for next to nothing in cost. One of those be careful what you ask for things.
