cold weather driveability

85 f150 4.9 4x4- When it's cold it runs terrible, I have to keep it floored to keep up with traffic in town. It seems like the colder it is, the worse it runs. I usually warm it up before going anywhere, but even then it doesn't run good. It seems to surge or sputter when accelerating. It has new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timings set at 10*, and everything seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
