Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

No fuel should be dripping from the venturis at idle. Only fuel to the engine comes from the idle mixture screws. I would try replacing the needle/seat and set the float slightly lower than specifications. If this solves the issue, consider resetting the floats to specs. 1/16th to 2/16ths lower than stock should work but may lean out the mixture under power. But this will put slightly more pressure on the seats.
Thank you. The needle seats and needles are brand new, floats are set at 7/16”. I got a pressure tester on it and it’s at 7-8 psi. The floats would need to be set higher not lower, correct? Greater than 7/16” to put more force on the needle? I think I’m at the point where I’m either going to throw a regulator on it or go buy a street demon….
