My '81 Bird has the electric choke wired from the factory so that it won't see 12V until the alternator is spinning. I have read that some have their e-choke conversions wired thru a 2 prong oil pressure switch so the e-choke won't see 12V until there is oil pressure. It eliminates the hot all the time with the key on issue.

One of the drawbacks with electric chokes is that it can get fooled and choke the engine when it does not need to be because as you said the coil cools quicker than the engine.
