Default 1969 stalling issues

Hi Everyone...first time post here. I am having stalling issues with my 69 350/350 at stops and turns. My son suggested I try the forum out as he said this place has been great for help on his C5. So, a bit more about the car. The car was slightly modified by a previous owner with a cam (no idea which) and has been bored 30 over. It has a Holley 650 dual feed double pump. The car starts and accelerates with no hesitation but when stopping or turning a corner the engine stalls. The fuel filter is fairly new and the carb floats seem to be properly set. I am not quite sure where to turn next. Has anyone else experiences similar issues?

1. You mention an inline fuel filter but make no mention of the bronze filters in the inlets of the fuel bowls, were they removed?
2. What is the initial timing set for and are you running ported or manifold advance?
3. Have you adjusted the idle mixture and speeds screws on the carburetor?
