Default Carter AFB nozzle drip

My son has a 65 Tempest with a stock (other than a RA3 cam) 400. He is running a Carter AFB (don't know the carb number, but its the stock type for 64-66). Recently, it has started flooding, and after you shut it off, it's dripping out the driver side (looks like from the throttle linkage but I'm not sure). When you look down the barrels, it's dribbling from the primary venturi boosters on both sides. We checked the fuel pressure (4.5 psi), floats aren't damaged, checked float level, float drop, needles and seats (they're only a couple years old), and made sure the air passages were clear. None of this made any difference. Carburetor are my weak point...

Any suggestions are appreciated. Eventually it's going to get a Quadrajet, but that's not in the cards right now.

Thanks,
Importsmasher
