Engine not running very well when its cold -- anyone help?

[Russell]

Hey Everyone!

I recently tuned up my engine, it totally runs awesome now, except when it is cold... It misses a bunch of cylinders and stalls out like right away if you try to let it idle... I recently cleaned and gapped my plugs, and cleaned my plug cables (still not 100% but this isn't the source of the problem) checked the distributer (which looked pretty much brand new still, with all the components of it running perfectly) tuned the carb, and put in a new air filter so the truck could actually run. My father and myself assume that when we took the distributer or something else apart we disconnected something... I know that the distributer has different wires coming out of it that cause it to act differently depending on the temperature of the engine, but I dunno what to be looking for. The engine ran fine when it was cold before we did the tuneup, but now it doesn't at all...

My father had a Chrysler Fury at one point, and it did the same thing becuase the previous owner ripped all that stuff out thinking it had something to do with emissions... My father ended up setting the engine to run at a very high idle when it was cold so it wouldn't stall out until it got warm and ran just fine....

Any suggestions from you engine gurus?
