I have a 1979 Corvette L48 with a 350 engine. The spark plugs are "sooty" and black carbon shoots out the tail pipes at initial start up. I know this is caused by the fuel mixture being too rich. I calculated that the car only gets 8 mpg with "very conservative driving". I don't do quick starts or race around. Recently the engine is hard to start when it's cold outside and engine seems to be flooded. Only 60K miles. Thinking the carb needs to be rebuilt. Any suggestions on the possible problem? Suggestions for rebuild kits if necessary?
