Choke problems?

My 86swb has intermittent hard starts cold. It has a 305 with a quadrajet. It will crank for a while and requires pumping the gas to start. When it starts it usually blows black smoke, won't idle and won't accelerate. After about 30 seconds it clears up and runs fine. It also has started losing power and smoking a few times while driving. That normally clears up after a few revs but today I had to wiggle the choke linkage to clear it out. What do I try to fix this?
