CLICK HERE for the carb manual from Edelbrock. Pg 8 goes through the proper setting of the floats.
From the Edelbrock Carb FAQ:
While you have the top cover off, I would remove the metering rods and make sure that there is no debris down in the jets that may stop the metering rods from seating.
It is likely that there was some junk in the carb bowls and by running it out of fuel, the air surges knocked some of the junk loose and hung up either a float or a metering rod. Either way, you should pop the top off of the carb and inspect everything inside.
From the Edelbrock Carb FAQ:
Q: My carburetor is flooding, what do I check?
A: Carburetor flooding can be cause by the following conditions. First, verify, with a fuel pressure gauge that the pressure does not exceed 6.5 psi. Floats should be set to the factory spec of 7/16, (see owners manual)(download here). Needles & Seats can be clogged with debris, not allowing them to close. They can be cleaned and checked when the float level is being verified. Floats can be sinking due to a leak. Verify floats are free of any fluid by shaking the float, or submersing it in a safe, non flammable fluid.

Hey. That Carb ended up working for you? I was just going to say, My buddy ran out of gas one time and it burnt out his fuel pump. Maybe that could be it?
