Choke related? (electrical question)

Hey guys,
I have my 12a engine down to about as simple as it can get. Blocked OMP, weber 45dcoe carb (and im running without a choke), no emissions crap etc etc....

Anything I swapped the engine into a different car a few days ago and noticed that a sensor located on the back of the thermostat housing (a large bolt with 2 electrical connections on it) the connections broke. So im curious as to if this is a sensor related to the choke telling the choke when to click back in because the vehicle is at operating temperature? Or should I be concerned and replace this sensor? (I can try and wrangle together some pictures if no one knows what im talking about)

Thanks
Dan_s_young

Yes, that sensor tells the ecu to pull off the choke. If it is not hooked up, the choke **** will not stay out on it's own.

This is true, I snapped one of my wires when I was installing my dell. But I dont ever have to use the choke to start it up.

I snapped some pics. I am thinking about pulling it out and installing a bolt or just cutting the wires down the the nut.
