Sounds like the accelerator pump circuit in the carb is not squirting fuel in when you depress the accelerator. That is why you get the lag in acceleration before it decides to launch. When you open the carb you should get a steady stream of fuel from the accelerator pump. With the engine not running look down the carb throat and open the throttle blades and visually check to see that there is a stream of fuel when doing so. If not time to rebuild the carb, or just get another accelerator pump for
the carb.

I have a quickfuel 650 on a stroked 383. motor ran, it will not start now. looking at the carb I notice alot of fuel leaking into one of the the secondary barrels even after turning the key off.

Hey Dave, Sounds like one of the floats stuck open... do you have a mechanical or electrical fuel pump..(electrical pump must shut off)..anyway the pressure in the lines will cause the leaking if the floats are stuck, .. even after its turned off...its probably flooded too.

Where is the main fuel line intake on my holly 4 barrel carb?

If it has a hose hookup you attach it there with a clamp or if you do not have the proper fitting or fuel line end you will have to get the proper parts.

I have a 1981 ramcharger 318 4 barrel edelbrock carb. it starts fine, drives well for about 15 min but dies. dies quicker when 4 barrels kick in. about 2 min after dying it will start up fine and do it...

Those rattly noises are detonations,  caused by a very lean mixture. All the other symptoms indicate that the fuel flow to the carb is too low. Since you have replaced the pump and the filter, the only other things left to check are the lines and the tank sump. Or you could install a much larger pump.

289 2 barrel with new fuel pump. gas will not stay in the fuel line after the car sits even for a few minutes. Has to be pumped back up into the filter and carb. by cranking at least 20 times.

Even if that was true, the car would run for 20 seconds without any fuel in the line, because the carb would have gas in the bowl. Why was the fuel pump replaced? How do you know theres no gas in the line? The check valve in the fuel pump should keep fuel from going backwards into the tank. The carb should hold gas, if not, find out why.

Can't remove an inline fuel filter nut

If I were you, what I would do is cut the line, try to get it out of the 1" nut that is in the carb in a vise. Then replace the line from the fuel pump up, if I remember it's 5/16" and maybe 3-4 ft long. Being a L6 motor fuel pump is easy to get too. If you can't get line out of 1" nut they do sell the at auto parts stores in the help racks.
