Hopefully there is some explanation for this. On a hard pedal stop, the engine will stall coming up to a stop light with clutch in. On a medium pedal stop, the RPMs will drop but return to idle speed w/o stalling. With a light pedal stop there is no change in RPM. Also on a hard corner turn with clutch in, RPMs will also drop. So is this a QJet problem or do I look somewhere else?

The Q-Jet has a small float bowl and is very sensitive to float level.
I would remove the top, I can walk you through, and inspect the float level.
The float is made of a material that can absorb fuel and make it too heavy, allowing the float level to rise above normal and causing your condition.

I agree.

The carb was recently rebuilt by an old school local guy who has a very good reputation for good work. When I posed this same scenario to him he said it could be because he set the float level 1/16" lower than factory spec because I have a standard trans. I'm not smart enough to make sense of that logic. So if I understand you correctly, I may have too high of a float level especially if he didn't replace the float. I can ask him if he did. Thanks.
