Default 85 Camaro Stalls Turning Right

I am having a problem where my engine looses power while making right hand turns and sometimes stalls.

This has happened after a rain storm flash flooded my engine.

Also I have had a fuel pump replaced twice in the last year.

Any suggestions?

To begin with, start planning your route so you're making left turns instead (3 lefts make a right).
How deep was the flood, and did it cover the engine? Is yours carbureted? If the answer is yes to those, I'd rebuild the carb. Actually, I'd rebuild it anyway so you can check the float level. A little more info about your engine? You could also have a loose wire somewhere ignition related that's breaking contact only while turning right. Check all your electrical connections for something loose or corroded.

The engine was covered and it took several tries to get it started. I will look into the electrical. Could it have anything to do with a flywheel?

No, it probably has everything to do with the fact the engine was covered in water. Is it carbureted, you didn't answer that? If so, the inside of your carb will most likely look like a crusty corroded mess of crap, the float could even be stuck. You'll want to rebuild the carb before wasting your time on anything else.
