CARBURETOR stumbles during right hand turns

Recently I bought a new 650 Holly spread bore, replacing the one the car came with. Rather than rebuild, I decided to go new and kept the same type to minimize hookup problems. Now it has a perplexing problem when making only righthand turns somewhat briskly, as the motor wants to falter slightly until I finish the curve. I might add that I also replaced the distributor.  I'm thinking float problem, but why on right hand turns only? It started with a vacuum leak which may have been the initial problem detected too late. My typical MO is to replace one logical thing at a time until the problem goes away, that way more things get replaced before problems develop. I've followed that system since I bought my 72 Pantera 42 years ago, and it's perfect. However this problem concerns my 72 Vette that I bought 4 years ago for something to fix during the Pandemic. I'm sorry to mention that so late, but you all are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Maybe you'll forgive me for the ruse.
