i'm getting small drops of something out of the exhaust, i think its unburnt fuel but i'm not sure, my car has no smog equipment on it either, its a 355 with headers, cam, edelbrock torquer intake, carter carb. What could be causing this?? and what can i do to fix it. Thanks guys

 

Try tasting it. Just kidding. Most likely it is just water that has condensed in the exhaust after your car was shut off. You see this happening quite often in humid areas; I see it everyday at school from other peoples cars.

 

hmm well my tips point down and there's circles of black when i fire up my car in the driveway am i running too rich? or is this just an effect of no emissions at all?

 

Bottle it, I think that's how they make moonshine

Those circles of black are probably just condensation. Take a water bottle and mist some on the driveway, it'd probably look the same.

If it were running THAT rich, you'd probably be able to tell from the plugs.

Well i don't live in the most humid part of the country i live in las vegas, so the water thats coming out the back is common?

 

The black is soot from unburned carbon from too much fuel; the water is a normal byproduct of combustion, since fuel is compsed of hydrogen and carbon; if it all burned perfectly you'd get some carbon dioxide molecules and some water molecules. If the car's gas mileage is OK, then it's not too rich except maybe at startup, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
