Car runs like crap in cold weather

Ok, so I live in jacksonville florida where it doesnt get extremely cold, and when it does get a little chilly(say 50 degrees) my 84 camaro runs like pure crap... while im accelerrating its just fine, but right on take-off it hesitates and bogs down real bad, and if i downshift it bogs down, and when im in 5th gear at a steady speed it hesitates real bad. but on a bright sunny day the car runs perfect.... any ideas?

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Stock carb, or has it been replaced? Are we talking about a V6 or V8?
