Default 66 dies....

...it actually seems like it is flooding when the car is warmed up, and I take off and kind of get into it while turning left (have not been able to duplicate when turning right) the car boggs down and dies. Not sure what the problem nor where to start looking.

No year? No engine size? No nothing! What the hell I'll take a stab at it. Look at the drivers side motor mount. The engine could be tilting from the left turn and the torque of the engine and not allowing for proper fuel delivery. More specifics would help in the future.

The carb maybe loose, and could tip slightly when you corner(I suspect that the driver side bolts would be looser than the passenger side ones, since the effect is directional). Excess air leaking in under the carbcan make the mixture too lean to fire.

Thanks for the responses...I will have to take a look at the bolts.

BTW the year is 66 as said in the title. But yes I did not put engine size as it was late. The engine is a 289 w/ 4bbl carb.
