1) Check fuel pressure (though a low likelyhood, this is easy to do)
2) Remove air horn and replace float
3) Inspect needle and seat carefully for debris
4) Ensure float level is properly set.
There aren't a lot of potential causes nor many potential fixes as a result. You didn't say what year carb you have. The very early Qjets were notorious for leaky well plugs on the bottom of the float bowl. This problem pretty much was solved when GM started using spun-in metal plugs instead of pressed-in cup plugs. If you carb is any newer than the mid-1960s, this is likely not an issue.
Is the flooding coming from the base of the carb or out the vents?
