RD,
I experience a similar condition to what you indicate you have been going through, i.e. when I initially start my engine from a completely cold condition, it fires instantly and without any hiccups, and it will hold idle and run well until I shut it down. Upon restart (even if it's been shut down for several hours), I have to crank the engine for several seconds without giving it any fuel as though the plugs are loaded with fuel from a flooded condition. After it starts and I try to accelerate, it seems to stumble for a few seconds (if not stall altogether) and will eventually clear up as I continue to drive away. I suspect that I have a heat soak & vapor lock problem as well as not having a hot enough spark at start up. You may have a similar problem. I'm switching over to an MSD 6AL ignition that should cure the re-start problem and my Holley is coming off the car soon to be replaced by a 4x2 Weber IDF system, that should cause new problems to worry about...
Mike
