Anyone have an electric choke conversion for the 1101 carb?

I'd like to convert from hot air choke and google can't seem to find one, mostly because it seems to think 1100 and 1101 are interchangeable.... If an electric choke for the 1101 isn't available I guess I'd like to know that too... And I would think a hot water choke like some early 60's Lincoln AFBs is completely off the table...

"carburetor-parts.com" shows hot-air as well as electric choke thermostats for an 1101 carburetor. I think this is what you are looking for:

Thanks Lou, but all of these on Mike's site also assume the 1100 and 1101 chokes are interchangeable, Much like everything else I found with Google. Maybe I have an oddball 1101, but my choke cap is 1.812" diameter vs the 2.14 of the 1100, 4100 and all 4 bbl Holleys.
I decided to go old school and call a couple places a local guy recommended. Carburetor Specialists in Georgia 888-871-(CARB) 2272 took my measurements and carb info and called back yesterday with one they say will fit. It wasn't cheap, $79 plus postage. Should be here in a week.

Sorry, been so long since I've worked on one of those I forgot about the oddball with the tiny choke housing. I think that may have been a Falcon version. I hope you get it running well.
