chevy 250 with poor cold performance

hey guys ill be putting tags on my 79 this week and it still dosent run perfect. the truck has a 250 with pair smog injection, 3 on the tree, and 3.08's. the truck cranks up perfect every time but if it has been ideling for 3-5 mins the truck will not take off to save your life it will just choke off, but when it has been running for 15-20 mins it will take off reasonably good. ive tryed a bunch of stuff to get it fixed, ive replaced the weights and springs in the distributor, new cap and rotor, rebuilt the carb(rochchester verijet), installed a new heat riser, set the timming, bypassed all vaccume controled emissions devices, and attempted to adjust the carb. have eny of yall had this same problem?
