240 stalls when cold 200 1984

When I first start up my 1984 245, I have to give it a lot of gas to keep the motor going. If I don't, it will idle for a second or two and then die. Also, if I don't get it good and warmed up, it stalls when I try to put it in gear.

Once in gear, it runs great. Once good and warm, it starts fine and idles fine without assistance. BTW, it's a stock B23F. No turbo.

Here's what I've done recently, in order, trying to solve this problem:
1. New fuel and air filters.
2. New Bosch platinum plugs.
3. New cap and rotor.
4. New Bougicord plug wires.

What else could it be? Dirty fuel injectors? Does this sound like a bad 02 sensor or something? Those things are so expensive, I don't want to buy one unless I need it --- but mine does have more than 35,000 miles on it.

Other ideas?
