Unhappy Cold starting issues already

The problem resides with one of our newly acquired '84D's. The car runs out fine with plenty of power. Only uses a 1/2 quart per 3k oil change. We've put about 3k on it so far.

As our Michigan temps have been approaching 30 degrees at night, the car will start but stalls quickly. I'm getting real worried about serious cold. There is no way she'll handle whats coming.

So far, I've:

1. Adjusted valves
2. Changed fuel filters
3. Cleaned out the banjo bolt
4. Adjusted the ALDA for more power
5. Changed all glo plugs with a rheem job

Next on the list is a Moly purge, but I can't figure out what to do about the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Don
