Missing 292

I own a 62 F100 with a 292 V8 that has a rebuilt 2 barrel carburetor. The carb has a manual choke. I very recently replaced the fuel pump because I thought it was failing. I also replaced the gasket between the spacer and the intake. The distributor has been converted to electronics. The gas tank is new. Gas is fresh and plugs and wires have been replaced. Up until recently starting was easy but recently when I try starting it runs with a bad miss until I try to start it 4-6 times. Then it runs and drives smoothly. If I shut it down sometimes I have to go through the whole sequence again before it starts.

How does it start warm with no choke?

It behaves the same whether warm or cold.

Perform a compression check. Make sure fuel pressure is within spec. Check valve lash. When it is missing, check spark on all cylinders.
