Default 70 Lt1 Choke Coil question?

I have a 1970 Lt-1 with the original Holley 4555 Carb and intake. I bought a new thermostatic choke coil from corvette central that I thought was the right one, but is apparently for a Rochester carb since the spring goes up instead of down when it heats up and closes off my choke. Does anybody know where I can get the correct coil? All I can find is the 71-72 Lt-1 choke coil.

Thanks

Sometimes I have to resort to the Camaro providers to get proper parts for my LT-1 here is their link: http://www.drclassic.com/catalog/Cam...el/M00196.html
