The Ford Barn

Earlier this week I got my '29 Tudor running after installing a different Model A engine in it a few months ago. After tracing down a electrical short it seems to be OK except while out on a 'test' drive the engine would just quit. This was after 4 right hand turns at low speed 2 different times. I have very little gas in the tank and am wondering if the turns are causing it to run out of gas as what is in the tank sloshes around. I do have the shut off valve filter in place so not to suck any crappy gas from the bottom of the tank.
Could it really be the low level of gas in the tank or could it be a coincidence that it stalled twice at the same corner on 2 different drives?
(I hope it's a gas quantity issue)??
Has anyone else experience

anything like this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
