I adjusted the floats to 1/8".  Ran the car.  It just dies on a left hand
turn.   It runs great on a right hand turn and a straight line.

Here is what I
have done with some great input from several FOT folks.  I am
narrowing down
the problems some what.  
Here is what I have done. As they say
start from a
measurable starting point.
    * checked points and timing
    *
re-centered
the needles (the front carb was sticking - fixed now)
    * changed
from gross
jets to needles supplied from Joe Curto
    * set the floats to 3/16"
*
installed vent lines
car runs great in a straight line.  It seems to be
loading up on left hand turns.  I am attaching a photo of the carb set up.
Based on the many FOT posts on re positioning the floats should i do that
next.  It loaded up so badly the car stopped.  Should i change the float
levels to 1/8".  I am I missing something obvious??  I am trying to sort as
much of this out as I can before I go to Seattle Thursday for the Historics.
Thanks for any input.
