When I first put my ERA on the road it stalled at stops. It has a 427 dual quad intake with a couple of Holleys that mount backwards. I quickly figured out that with the backward Holleys some changes in float levels was going to be necessary and that consisted of raising the secondary levels slightly (towards front) and lowering the primary levels slightly (at rear). Stalling issues went away after that. You probably just need to lower your secondary float level a little and make sure you have the baffle piece in the vent opening at the top of the bowl (in the metering plate). Raising your idle speed slightly might help too, if you have it set pretty low.
