RE: [Chevelle-list] awful quiet in here

Title: Message

The gas feed is on the right side, but I'm not sure how to check flow to the left bowl. I do know that both bowls were full of gas when I re-jetted the carb (twice), so I guess there is flow, but I don't know if it is resticted at all. It does tend to happen after hard acceleration (straight), or going down hill, although I'm not cornering hard at all.

Sounds like the drivers side bowl isn't getting any fuel, and when the left turn is executed, the fuel can't reach the intake from the right bowl.  Fix action, I'm not sure.  Have you checked to see if fuel is traveling to both sides?

Ok - here is a recent Chevelle problem.

 

'71 Malibu 350, 4 speed, with new Edelbrock 1405 Carb, Performer EPS intake, stock fuel pump, in-line Edelbrock fuel filter. The setup runs great, idles great at 600 RPM, pulls almost 20" of vacuum at idle, nice and smooth. The problem I'm having is that the car stalls when I turn relatively sharply (a 90 degree turn), usually left. I also noticed that I can swerve the car left and get the same effect (car almost stalls). The car restarts ok after cranking awhile, and/or pumping the gas, making be believe it's a gas starvation problem. The carb has side-hung bowls. Is this a known problem with Edelbrock carbs, or is there something else going on?
