OK, HT or fuel then, or possibly condenser of which new ones are well known 
to give problems.  And if pulling the choke *made no difference at all* then 
probably fuel, as pulling the choke when it didn't need it should make it 
run even worse.

Did you do the fuel delivery check?  The other test is when this starts 
happening on the road, and it is safe to do so, switch off the ignition and 
bring the car to a halt, then turn on the ignition and listen to the pump 
before starting the engine, then start and drive off and note whether it is 
running OK or not.  Also stop when it is happening and remove the fuel 
filler cap and see if you get a gasp or not, or even, on quiet roads, drive 
with the filler cap removed and see if it still happens.
