Hard to start when cold, won't heat up over 140 degrees

I've just bought a 97' and now that its gotten cold, its hard to start. It runs fine after I get it to crank and it runs for a few minutes. But the first start of the day it runs rough and blows a lot of white smoke. Also, it won't heat up over 140-150 degrees unless I'm pulling a load. I checked and reset the timing at 14.5 and I checked the thermostat and it looks fairly new. Any suggestions?
