Have you used a Sierra steering column? If so there are mountings underneath for the bonnet release - I used the standard Sierra bonnet release handle & cable for the choke. It won't lock in place, but I found that pulling it on while cranking & for maybe 30 secs after it fires was enough.
Just a thought.
