Won't Idle

I've got a 300 with a offy dual port intake with a quadra jet carb on it. I can't get the thing to idle or when I get it to idle it is at about 1400rpms. I've checked all my vac lines and put hose clamps on them to be sure. The motor runs good but just wont idle. It will idle for a few seconds then just die, it acts like it is starved for fuel. The carb is a reman. I've adjusted everything according to what everyone says. Back the screws out 1-1/2 to 2 turns and adjust the linkage screw. Anyone got any suggestions or ideas on what to do and try? Any help appreciated!

Vacuum leak some place? And switch ports that you connect your dizzy to and see if that makes a difference.
