Well, my 69 does the same thing. When it's cold outside it runs really rough 
for a good while till it warms up. It's almost as if it's running on 6 
cylinders. I know what the issue is so I don't worry about it. I'd rather have 
the nice cold air stay cold than to have a stove under the carb. Hell, my Model 
T has a pre-heater to suck in hot air to allow the use of the crappy gas back 
in the 20's but I don't need that on my 455.

Hijacking this thread.  I have the block off plates inserted in my car.  I 
recently drove it to fill it up with gas and put stabil into it in preperation 
for winter hibernation.  The car would barely run, it wouldn't idle and missed 
occasionally while running.  It runs fine in warm weather..  I was worried 
something had gone wrong with the car, but can I attribute this to the exhaust 
crossover blocked off.  This is after the car is warm.  When it is cold it 
doesn't run very well because I pull the electric choke off to fast.
