 out, then it catches and revs fine. Once it seems to warm up a bit, it
 idles okay. Once I drive it, it runs fine, and idles okay at stop lights
 etc. If I restart it warm, it is okay.

Hi, Jim!

I'd check the distributor Cap for moisture first.  Classic symptom.  Remove
cap and check for water ingress.  Clean and dry inside of cap.  Also, if it is
a two piece cap, separate the black cover from the orange cap and then
reassemble.
