Choke? On cars with carbs, I have always pressed the gas pedal down twice before cranking. This closes the choke and squirts fuel into the intake manifold.

The vacuum choke pull-off may not be working. Is the high idle rpm off the choke cam set properly? When the choke parts are working properly you should only have to step on the throttle to the floor ONCE.
Choke adjustments usually have to be done with the carburetor on the car with several hot and cold start cycles.

Replace the ignition coil, they are cheap and will make a big difference. Also is the choke working as it should?
