302 cutting out as I turn corners.....and ideas???

My car seems to be running well except when I turn a corner. I go into the turn, letting off the gas a bit. As I straighten her out and get back on the gas the engine cuts out for 1-2 seconds and sounds as if it's going to totally die. It gets going again and seems fine. I tried this several times and it did it every time I turned a corner. Any ideas on whats wrong here. Thanks in advance.

Either that, or the fuel lines, pickup and such.

Well so much for adjusting the float. The carb is a Holley 4160 which = non adjustable!!!!!!!
