weird starting problem

Hey guys,i am new to this board but i am impressed,alot of you guys kmow your****.I am glad to be a part of it. I have question about a slight problem i am having,I just bought a 88 formula 350 it is in almost mint condition,it has slp headers,and exhaust and a few other things and i am pretty happy with it except for when it is cold out it starts a little harder and sometimes it will die but as soon as i turn it over again it is ok,it only does it when it is cold.When its warm no problem.The car has a accel ignition i dont know if this is the problem,because if i floor itit will studder from 700 rpm till about 1200 rpm but if i part throttle it no problem,other than thatthe car runs awsome and just plain flies! thanks for your help in advance

All the time or only when cold?

-----------

As for the 'cold' problem, it could be your ninth injector is clogged or stuck closed. Is it worse during colder weather?

State of tune? Codes? I'd get that up to snuff prior to trying to troubleshoot. It always makes everything easier.
