Car dies when making a hard turn stalls when braking
I have an 83 z28 and when I make sharp turns like U turns or come to a stop like at a stop light the car acts like it wants to die or dies. Anyone know what the problem could be?

How much gas is in it when this happens?

It's a guess but when carburated car do this many times it's the Float.
I think the factory float is plastic and gets soaked such that it actually
fills with fuel and no longer floats properly but sinks.
I'd do a search for "Float" on the forum.
Here 's a nice photo of a float in a Camaro Carb http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ent=carb10.jpg
I'm sure more senior members of the Forum could confirm or deny
my conclusion for you.
