tries to stall

I have a '72 400 all stock except the holley strreet performer intake and holley q-jet replacement 4011 carb. When I first put these puppies on it ran as smooth as glass. It has been getting worse and worse since then. Now it idles very ruff and when I take a turn it tries to stall. Whats wrong?

Mt first guess would be the float level set wrong or some debirs in the inlet (bowl) valve.

I have seen a fuel pump do this before. You may want to put a presure gage on to see if you pump is still good. The car I seen have the fuel pump problem was 1983 mustang 5.0 just for info. I believe it was when he made a left turn it would try to stall,but not the other way.
