Alright, I'm still new at this so bear with me..
77 TA, W72 (Pontiac 400) stock.

1. Engine runs perfect when warm (even passes emissions)
2. Runs terrible when cold

By terrible I mean:

1. Engine shakes like a mofo
2. Sounds really really bad (like a 2 stroke)
3. dumping a good amount of gas out the back

Things I've done:

1. Choke looks to be working.. (opens as it warms up)

2. New wires, coil, plugs, cap, timing is good when warm

I didn't notice this until winter time of course.
I'm thinking maybe the carb needs a rebuild? Maybe the floats are stuck?

Thanks team!
