    Mel,

    That choke thermostat spring will work with with the B4B.

    You'll need to fabricate a rod for it, source a cover and find a small self tapping screw to affix it to the intake pad as well.

    Here's a cover:

    I've sold a few of those to folks with Buick and other divorced choke set-ups when the original parts aren't available and/or they are using an aftermarket intake. This one is the most common.

    There are two versions available, pulls down on the right or on the left. They can be reversed if needed with a little effort if you end up with the wrong one.

    You can bend a custom link up to the carb from a piece of aluminum TIG wire. It bends a LOT easier than steel rod and available in the correct diameter........
