Assuming your motor is stock.
Nice looking car BTW.
First make SURE the carbs are getting clean fuel. A GOOD new fuel filter and CLEAN gas tank are mandatory.
Unfortunately you will have to run the idle rich on these carbs to get them to behave, especially with the crap gas available now days.

60 or even 65 idles may be needed.

One trick I learned is that your motor will run better with a re-curved distributor. This is not the cause of your carbs spitting, but something to think about doing. The original T distributors did not have enough advance at or near idle. Weber motors will run better with about 7 deg advance at idle an about 35 deg advance at 6K rpm.
