It might be a choke setting but I would look into a complete tuneup first. Plug wires, plugs, timing, idle mixture and then finally choke setting. You might find that will really make a difference. That's the first thing I check on an old car that is "new" to me.

I had the same problem with the Delta (307 motor) and it was the choke. I had to take it back because the choke plate kept getting stuck shut when warm and "choked" the car the other way.
With that, for the Delta weighing over 4000 lbs, it is pretty easy to push
