I agree with Toy Collector, good starting reference point is the specificationa he provided. May have to do a little fine tuning after, but it should get you running.

As to the "leakage issue", mine will do the same if I shut the car off when the engine is hot and the carbs full of fuel. You are just cooking off the remaining fuel. Usually it is the float levels as Toy Collector mentioned. Since I found out my car runs better with the floats a little higher, I have found another way to solve the issue. Before you shut the car off, turn off the fuel pump and let the car idle and cool down for 30 seconds. This will do two things; a. cool the engine down slightly, and b. empty some of the fuel out of the carbs which should solve this problem.

While it may take a little work to get them perfect, I feel it is worth it. Good luck.
