That and making sure your water thermo sensor is connected.
Or you could buy a Wideband Sensor and kit and a SAFC to go with it and use the SAFC to lean the mixtures out. SEARCH for WIDEBAND. Costly. Probably cost more than most these cars are worth.

How do you know it's running rich? You've given us zero info about your car and any problems or symptoms you're experiencing. Is it running normal rich factory mixtures or abnormally rich mixtures indicating a problem somewhere?

I know its running rich because I can see smoke that smells like fuel coming out of the exhaust and the spark plugs have a lot of carbon build up on them.

So you're rich at idle. That's pretty normal, and it doesn't mean you're running any richer than normal when driving. Has performance or fuel consumption changed? Do you see black smoke while accelerating? How old are those plugs?
