Gas will drip out of the carburetor after I turn the gas off. Guess the float level is a little to high. It has died on me several times when I come to a stop.

Well, from the way that you have been using it (i.e.-backward) there will be a period of retraining your brain
.
A good thing, IMO, to do until it is second nature to you...take a small card and print a few steps of how to properly start your model A ! Put it on the dash.
Also, when you are about to STOP and shut off your Model A engine...ALWAYS retard (handle up) ...let it idle a bit then shut down power and see if that doesn't help with your 'backfire' problem.
