Running rich TPI

Well I got the car running finally. It seems to be running pretty descent, but it is running really rich. It has new plugs, wires, cap, distributor, fuel pump, mass air flow, new pressure regulator, new injectors, fuel filter, air filters, and the timing is perfect. What would cause it to run rich? It is a 305 tpi. I run 93 octane in it.

Re: Running rich TPI

What did you set your fuel pressure at if it's an afpr?

What size injectors did you put in?

How rich is rich?

Need a bit more information to be of more help.
