Too cold to start car

you can get a manual choke cable at Lowes for $10 packaged as a lawn mower throttle cable.
I have a choke cable and the kit, that's not the issue. The piece below won't fit properly, even though I have the right kit for my carb (according to jegs)

Don't wanna wait til June! I already had to put my bike away for the winter, I want to have some fun when it's sunny out! And I'm in the city so they frown upon shooting guns in the backyard.

I've had the car about 4 years or so, and I've managed to start it in the winter before without a choke. But, this is my first winter trying it with the current engine. But all the fuel and ignition parts are the same, aside from new sparkplugs.
