Re: F-100 barely runs

I did a little more adjusting on the carb and cleaned it out again. Also replaced the pcv valve , I noticed it was almost broke in half. . I feel stupid for asking this but could it be the speed sensor? I noticed that it bogs down the worst while slowing, especially if I have to brake hard. and I dont think its anything to do with the actual brakes because once im stopped I can put the brake pedal all the way down with no new symptoms. It also bogs down on sharp turns, it gets worse the slower I go. I checked the vacuum and it is steady in the fact that the needle doesnt bounce quickly, but when the engine stumbles the vacuum does change with the rpm change. I thought it could be the brake booster but all of the tests I did on it seemed to pass. Im beginning to think that it is still a carb issue, like the change in motion while stopping or turning is somehow effecting it?
