Choke coil

Choke coil
I am finishing up a 69 Cutlass 350, and I am having trouble finding a choke bi-metalic coil for the qjet. The manifold well for the coil is only 1/2 in deep and all of the coils I have found are 1 in deep.
Suggestions appreciated.

The one for sale is the same new one that I have (it projects 1"). I need a GM application where the coil assy only sticks out 1/2" from the level of the mounting hole.
What this may mean is that my manifold, although GM, is from another division. Oh joy.
Thanks for the answer.

Quick update. I cut the top off the new thermostatic coil housing I had, shortened the coil mounting legs by 1/2", added a 1/4" piece at the top of the housing that I cut off and welded everything back together. Looks terrible, but gives a good pull when cold and fits in the mount on the manifold (the 1/2" deep well. Will continue to look to find a coil that fits properly, but this will work fine for a while.
Still trying to figure out where the intake manifold came from. This is the second mod I have had to do to "bolt on components" to fit, the first being the vacuum controlled hot water fitting on the rear of the manifold. The tapped hole on the manifold was too small for the valve fitting and I had to come up with an adapter.
I love this stuff!
