Hard to start when cold

You have to power the electric choke unless you can loosen it and rotate the pod to keep it open all the time otherwise I think it will run rich. Yes, fuel bowl evaporation is an issue, do you have an insulated spacer under the carburetor? This helps mitigate some of that but is not a 100% cure.

Get a timing light and get that sorted. What engine are we dealing with here? Is it stock or other?

Yep electric choke my father and I are working together on this its just fully open right now Its a 383 was a standard 2bbl now has a 4bbl engine is bone stock we did have it running on VP but we are planning on running just Premium Unleaded for now I might look into lead additives I know that would help eventually this engine will be rebuilt however it doesn't smoke and it runs good and have good pressure and doesn't knock so for now I will just run it but it has a hard time starting.
