Carberator idles at start, then won't stay running until engine is hot. Ideas?

I have a 1968 Ford F250 with 360 cu. in. bored .30 with 8.5 to one pistons, edelbrock CJ alum. heads, high rise dual plane intake, 1 7/8 in headers, edelbrock cam to go with the top end kit (lift around .590) running a rebuilt 750 duel line, vac. choke, with 2 inch torq spacer between the carb and intake. I can't get the car to idle no matter where I set the chock, until the engine is fully hot 180 degrees. I have tried various adjustments to the primaries, idle screws, even turned up the idle, but that's 2,000 RPM before it will stay running without tapping the pedal. Any ideas on what to check next?

Take the carb off and clean it out.

Might be a bad choke or loss of vacuum (leak and plugged line).

Have you taken off the choke stove and ducting? My Holley has problems with carb ice during warm up because I removed the choke stove set up. Just a thought.

Holley's Ice up during warm up? I've never heard of that.

Not like it matters, this tard ain't never coming back... He probably forgot his password and forgot where he put up his question...
