Problem starting, looking for suggestions
Engine turns over fine, but the car doesn't fire until I step on the gas pedal.
This is an 85 with a PE and other changes.
I cleaned the IAC but that didn't help.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Sam we can try and troubleshoot this later this week if you want -
Given the fact that your car is also down on power, and not making as much boost, it could be one of several things. We'll start with the easiest and cheapest first (vacuum) then go onto the rest (ECT, injectors, etc)
I dont think it's valve seals, ed - the car doesn't blow any oil smoke at all.
