Edelbrock Performer 600cfm #1405

What would cause this carb to dump massive amounts of fuel into the engine; with no throttle input and even after the car is shut off? I mean it was literally pouring fuel into the primaries. Massive flooding.

Was previously running just fine. I had just changed the metering rod springs, and was taking it for a test drive around the block. Ran perfect until I got to a stoplight, and then the carb took a shit.

Yes, I already know this carb is too big. Came with the car; spare me.
