As a thought, just as a stretch, here's a couple suggestions:
1) Use a straight edge to confirm that your intake is square at the carb flange. If there is a gap or gouge, or it's uneven, it could allow unregulated air through, even with a good gasket.
2) Pull your carb off, put the nuts down on the studs and set the carb back in place on the nuts. Turn on your fuel pump (obviously not engine) and let it run while looking under the carb (space now created by setting the carb on the nuts). The idea is to see if any fuel is leaking from the carb. I mention this because of the mixture screws being inaffective. You shoudl be able to lean it enough to kill it. Fuel has to be coming from somewhere.
There is still the chance your distributor isn't phased right, but that would only explain a portion of your symptoms.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
Mechanical fuel pump.
