After receiving such great advise on the starting problem on my '63
Monza I was able to get the engine going but noticed after the engine is
shut down, looking down the carb venture on the right carb I see gas
continuing to drip for several minutes.  I pulled the carb apart but did
not see anything out of the normal.  Would this possibly be due to the
float sticking or a faulty needle valve?
Thanks once again.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago.  I did all of the float  
adjustment (multiple times), pressure adjustment (added a regulator),  
and cleaning suggested (again, multiple times).  What finally cured it  
was cleaning out the idle circuit.  I took a twistie like is used to  
seal bread bags, burned the plastic casing off, and used the wire to  
pass though the circuit (the diameter was a perfect fit).  Problem  
solved.
