Car stalls under heavy cornering/ braking

I run a holly 650 Double pumper spreadbore. If I brake/ corner too hard the car will stall on me. A lack of fuel is causing this. What is wrong with my carb an how do I fix it? Somebody told me it's the float level.

my car does the same only when I corner real hard, but I have TPI. I think we need a swinging fuel pick up in the tank.

I checked for the adjuster on the front bowl, mine doesn't have one. what does that mean? Do I have to take off the front bowl?
