Engine Stumbles on Turns

Our '83 F-100 w/ 302 and AOD will sumble/hesitate when going around a corner. I though it might be the fuel level in the carb bowl, but that looks to be correct. Any other ideas? If it is the fuel level, should I adjust it slightly higher or lower in a first trial?

Thanks!

Do you let out of the gas on corners? And is it happening when coming to stops as well?

Could be the timing. just a thought.

BTW, I like the before and after pix. Nice paint man.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't noticed the stumble coming to stops as it would be coasting anyway. It's more as you try to accelerate coming out of a turn after coasting into it with the brakes applied. Taking off from a stop generally isn't a problem.
