You can verify this is a problem by checking fuel pressure with a gauge. You should see about 38PSI or so at idle, but you will likely see a bit higher with the Walbro. Unless the pressure is radically too high, you will not be rich enough to blow black smoke.
What is the condition of the rest of the car? Plugs? Wires? Sensors? Is you timing set correctly? AFM in the factory horizontal position? How old are the injectors and have they been serviced recently?
