1980 crummy cold start

Hey guys, here is the next problem. The newest member of the family is a beautiful 1980 turbo. Drove it 14 hours after pickup two days ago. 88k miles and the engine was rebuilt last year with all new gaskets, turbo, head planing, etc. Previous owner went to great lengths.
Only one problem. On cold start, it starts, runs, then stumbles. Hitting the gas does nothing once it is at a low idle. Idle then picks up and it runs, then stumbles. Sometimes either dies or goes to "limp-home-mode" low idle that I've experienced in my '90 SPG. Seems to be getting worse now and even stumbles occasionally when idling with the clutch in when warm.
Don't know much about the 1980 B-engine yet. Anyone have any ideas of where to start? It has all new plugs, wires, rotor, distributor rebuilt, and there are like only 2 vacuum lines in the whole engine - they both look good.
