I can say the only time I ever had a cold start issue in my old 85
SBlazer with the 2.8 it was due to the baseplate heater not working.

That carb is VERY fussy when it comes to the choke adjustment and they
were always set on the lean side. Do you have the list of settings for
all the linkages and controls?

Is this a feedback or non-feedback carb? They used both depending on the
emissions controls you had.

What is your current starting procedure for cold and warm?
You mentioned you converted to manual choke? Why? Was that done before
or after the hard starting?

What fuel are you running? Does it have ethanol in it? If yes, that
alone will cause starting issues in a carb not adjusted for it.
