One thing I noticed though, is it tends to stall when I turn a corner, and idle down. I wonder if is just idle speed, carb float level, or maybe vapor lock from heating up on a 100+ day. Any ideas?

However, I would certainly check the float level. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
