Hey guys need some help, my 93 stalls when braking hard and turning.

The only vacuum being pulled from the motor is for my distributor and boost gauge, at idle I'm at 12 inches of vaccum is this normal with a mild roller cam and wiand 174 supercharger, sprayed intake and carb gaskets with parts cleaner while idling no change.
The car runs great idles perfect dont have to touch the gas when starting it cold, I'm lost any help would be appreciated.

Something is up with the carb. We don't have many carb people on here. The fuel is sloshing, or the floats......or something. I don't know, but it's definitely the carb. If you don't get a good answer ask on another forum. It doesn't have to be a Mustang forum, because it's a carb problem. If you asked on sloppymechanics, you'd have an answer in about 8 seconds.

First thing I would check is float level but It's been too many years since I've fooled around with a carb.
Does the brake booster make any noise (swoosh) when you push on it?

Forum and facebook group. There are close a million people on there that do all kinds of stuff, so stuff like that can get answered fast.

12 in-Hg seems low. Look for a vacuum leak.

Double checked the float level and it was way off, after adjusting it the problem went away. It helps using a flashlight.
