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
It will be smoking black out of the exhaust / Running RICH. Spark plugs will be fouled out/ Black. Replace them if it is running rich. Plugs will not fix your problem. Replace map sensor.
Running rich- either due to computer or faulty fuel injectors or carb. adjustment
excessive amount of fuel, running too rich.
