I can now say definatively that the fuel dripping was caused by the metering rod binding, and I suspect that was what was causing the issue that started this thread. My suggestion is, anytime the metering rods have been taken out, work them up and down a couple times after inserting them to make sure they travel freely.
The dizzy was also off by a tooth, but the bottom pully is 1/4 turn off, so that was kinda tricky to figure out.
Only remaining issue is a clogged idle circuit. Idles on one rotor, below about 1500 RPM, but once you crack the throttle open, it screams. I'll address that when I get it near an air hose.
Between the timing issue, and the carb crapping out, it was rather difficult to figure this one out. Being as I had never touched an Edelbrock carb before, added another level of difficulty to the equation
