I put mine back on, and the dripping was still an issue. I pulled the metering rods out, and the side in question had the spring clip on the top installed wrong. It was causing the rod to lean at a odd angle, compared to the plunger. I corrected it, but it was late enough that I didn't try starting it up to see if that solved the problem.
It was only dripping fuel while the engine was running, which leads me to believe that was the problem. The fuel was dripping from the booster, which is where it is drawn into the barrel from the jet. Plus, it was only dripping on one side, the side with the rod clip installed wrong. I believe this caused the rod to stick in the raised position.
Funny thing is, this carb had never been opened up before. This means it came from Edelbrock this way.

Which engine is your carb on? Mine is on an SE 6 port 13B with RB intake.
Carb may be "too big", but it should work ok.
