does it have a two barrel carb or a 4 barrel, cause i know i had an old dodge truck with a 2 barrel carb and when ever i took a hard left it would die and then sputter back to life once i was back striaght

did it just start happening or has it happend for the life of the vehicle? but the fact that its a 2 barrel is more than likely the issue
