The engine was at exactly 24 deg. BTDC, all vacuum lines to the IP disconnected, throttle linkage fixed at full throttle with a piece of wire and fuel valve taken out of #1 element. Did I miss something?
However, I observed much better but still far from perfect "starting behavior" (still won't start below 20F) after I gave up with the drip tube and advanced the IP all the way.

Sounds like you need to step back and and maybe try another method. I use the drip method where you basally blow air through the IP while rotating the eng, when the bubbles stop, there you are, do a search on "drip method" Most folks here like the drip method but I could never get it too work and its messy
