Car is runnin rough... help anyone???

Hey huys... My car is running rough at idle. Its a 92 305 TPI, with only 40k orig, with the mods listed below in my sig. Im just curious to see if anyone has any ideas before I have the mechanix put it on a scanner(i cant afford one myself).

It started to idle worse when I had the AFPR set at 48PSI. I brought it down to 42... stock was 38(seems kinda low). Judging from the exhaust smell, its running rich. However, I dont believe that the FP is too high. Im thinking that when i bumped the FP up origonally, I might have smoked an injector or two?
Any help would be appreciated!

yeah just did full tune up bout 3k ago. put timing at 8deg+TDC. Plug wires run a special way... so as not to come anywhere close to the hedders.
