Default Remote Start on Edelbrock Carb

I'm exploring upgrades on my '73. A remote start crossed my mind so I started researching. Contrary to what many people may say THIS IS POSSIBLE. The most critical part is the solenoid activated/actuated plunger (or whatever) with enough pull to pump/prime the throttle...thus allowing you to start the car.

here are a couple of links and videos

In the YouTube video the plunger/solenoid is visible.
Where can I find a plunger/solenoid that meets the requirements to pull the throttle?

there is no impossible to overcome obstacle to make it work. my car i give 1 shot from the pedal turn the key and she fires, and doesn't shut off until i turn the key . i would think state of tune will be crucial.
my daily driver has remote start and i love it.
