stalling out on right hand turns

Well I tried to adjust my afr using a vacuum gauge and screwing in and then out the screws on the front af the carb and got a besy of 16 or so inches of vacuum. First is this too low and second now when i went out for a drive and tried to make right hand wide turns she stalls out if i dont straighten it out . Could this be a bowl flooding or not getting enough fuel or something else?BTW its e Edlebrock 1806 see my sig for the details of engine. I was previuosly running a bit rich as my exhaust was really smelling of fuel. Any ideas would be great!

Go to the Edelbrock website and watch thier videos, if they cant fix your problem buy a Holley thats what i am gonna do. Anyone wanna buy an 800cfm Edelbrock LOL.

not to insult your intelligence, but do you have a decent amount of fuel in the tank??? Let's say over a 1/4 tank or so??

Re: stalling out on right hand turns

yes almost 1/2 tank and yes the gauge works ,this is something that only happened after i tried to adjust the air/fuel ratio. it always ran well before other than the usual bog or stutter under full throttle and even then only for a quick second and then full power
