International Scout Carb question

I use a 1974 International Scout with the 345 V8 to plow with. This truck has always been very dependable. In our last storm (heavy/wet snow), it started stumbling & I had to keep revving the motor up to finish our property. Yesterday, I bought new plugs/ wires/ cap/rotor & fuel filter for it & installed them. This didn't seem to help, the truck starts right up, but seems to be starving for fuel, I also noticed that if I let the truck idle, it leaks gas from the front of the carb & eventually stalls itself out. I took the aircleaner off & noticed the top of the carb filling w/ gas. I soaked it in carb cleaner last night, but, what is my next step? Thanks from Maine.
 
Sounds like carb flooding ,,possible dirt /bad needle and seat . Not bad carb to rebuild . List $ should be on air horn by choke plate . Holley 2 bbl . R3213 for example , it should start with a "R" . If they can't find kit or need help let me know . 319-329-0915
 
needle and seat not sealing, also this could be due to a float that no longer 'floats' your local carquest or napa store will have a kit for it, its not too hard a job, just take pics with your cell phone ect as you disassemble the carb, you may not need the pics, but if you do 1 of them is worth a million if it tells you where some little thing went, you will need the carb number which will be stamped on it, as well as what brand of carb ih used several
 
If all else fails give me a call, I have a holley carb. that came of my 1973 Int. 345 pick up, 2 bl. has been in storagr for a while, a good cleaning and a overhaul kit and it should be ok. Also have 3 speed trans. for sale, also have 1973 Int. pick up with 345 and holley carb. running for sale, running gear good, body not so good. I am a long way from you, (NEMS) 662640-8123 JIMMY
