Hard Starting Hot & Intermittent missing / hesitation

350 SBC rebuilt to stock with a "mild cam" and has about 300~400 miles on it. QJet 4BB (matching number for 72 from uscarburetors). It has a Top Street Performance HEI (has a stock look to it, with external coil).

When starting up in the morning or when has sit a rather long time, turn key and boom starts right up.

Drive around a good 5~10 miles to get good and hot/warmed up. Say I stop at the gas station, fill up, go into store to get a drink. I have to put the gas pedal to the floor to get it to startup and after which a bit of rough idle then clears up.

Timing was rechecked today, well because it ended up not being locked down! Also the fuel pump was replaced today (only part that was reused from before rebuild). Set to 12 degrees and has just shy of 16 for vacuum.
