there are lots of possible causes:

1: Fuel Mixture too rich, an 86 should have a carburetor so you should be able to adjust the air/fuel mixture.

2: weak spark, causing incomplete combustion, not as likely as #1 but also possible. My '92 stinks of unburnt fuel when it's time to replace the plugs

3: Dead catalytic converter

4: fuel leak.

5: evap. emissions system problem.
