You guys are providing some interesting stories and useful tips. I'm going to check for leaks with the new gaskets as Bob has just suggested. But this may not be the problem. After tightening some of the jets and the float valve, I noticed that it started coming out of the overflow port on the engine side of the carb (indicating that the bowl was way over full). I said "the heck with it" and decided to start the car after closing the fuel shut off. After running the car and turning on the fuel shutoff valve I had no drips, even after turning off the engine.

I don't think this is permanent because I had this happen before I rebuilt the carb. Unfortunately the car idles only mediocre even after some GAV and mixture adjustments. When it gets warmer here in New England I'll drive the car and see if it's any better. If all else fails I'll see if I can try a good carb from one of my club members and see if maybe I have other issues.
