Hard to start but runs good 200 1982

I have to crank my car for quite a few turns before it will start. After it starts, it runs fine. It accelerates fine and doesn't hesitate while driving. I also hear relays clicking in my dash unless I am accelerating as if from a stop sign. Is this related to the flame trap? Where is the flame trap on my car? Should I buy a relocation kit for it, or do i just get longer hose and relocate it where I want it?

I installed new strut inserts and still have a knocking when I hit hard bumps in the road, what should I check next?
