I have a 1980 Chevy Monte Carlo with a small block Chevy 400 in it and some high performance parts like cam ,intake , holley street avenger 670 carburetor, headers,when I come to a stop mostly going downhill when I apply the brakes the car acts like it wants to die out but it doesn't, I checked for vacuum leaks there's none thanks
 
Maybe the float adjustment is too low in the front and uncovering the primary jets when you apply the brakes on that angle.

That would be my guess too.

you got 3 votes for the front float being too low, how many more do you need?... 😊

it's enough to check the float level on a holley so let us know if 565BBchevy is the winner...🙂
 
Rear float too high.
