Inconsistant starting.

So I have an 1985 Camaro LG4

Some days it starts right up no issues, sometimes when warm, it cranks several times before it fires.

Also on a cold startup(few days of sitting) it has a good 10-15 seconds of cranking.


Also cold first start after sitting overnight, it idles lows and occasionally stalls out.





EDIT:

Also wanted to add, I bought the car and previous owner said he had just put a newly remaned quadrajet on, still on factory settings. It does look like it as well.
