cars running rich(i think)

I have a problem. First ill give you a little bockground info. Its a 87 trans am with a tpi 305 and a 700r4.The cars tach jumps a little at idle. It also Smells like gas awful in the trunk after driving the car for a while. The CEL (check engine light) comes on after 55 after it warms up. It also smells like its running rich.And it idles a little rough. Anybody have a similar problem?Oh yeah i have new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, oil change, and im about to put a fuel filter in before i go to emissions tomorow.
