Black smoke is always too much gas. Its running too rich. Poor mpg! A good mechanic can scan it in a minute. Might be an O2 sensor failure causing 'open loop' all the time.

1994-1996 Chevy Caprice came with both a 4.3liter(265cu.in.) and a 5.7liter(350cu.in). There are two easy ways to tell, 1-with the hood open look at the emissions label above the radiator on the black plastic, it is a black and white label, look in the upper left hand corner and it will say 4.3 or 5.7 2-look at the eighth digit of your VIN if it is a W then it's a 4.3 if its a P then it's a 5.7
