Have to start thrice in order to get stable. It's angry.

Heres a video after I started it once and it died:

I start it once more, it dies. Start it a 3rd time... and it becomes stable and lives/runs.

This car has a 350 TBI in it with a 305 TBI computer, would that be the source of the problem? Or could it be a simple timing issue?

Also when my gas gauge says 1/4 it really means E, so its pretty close to empty, hence my concern.
