Running rich
My 90' 5.0 is running super rich the fumes just burn your eyes at idle. It idels and runs fine and my milage is terable. Ive got headers, msd 6a, flowmaster single into dual exauhst, I thought meaby it was a cat prob so i punched it out but no change. Any thoughts as to any certain sensors or blown gasket possibiltys???

Good call on the O2 sensor. Grad a $30 code scanner at the parts house and do an engine running scan. It'll tell you for sure. An O2 fault won't always trip the Check Engine light. I know, I know. 30 bucks is 30 bucks, but it's a whole lot cheaper than throwing parts at it until you pick the right one.

You don't need a code scanner for a '90. Use a jumper wire and a test light, or an analog volt meter. This is the site Steve83 always sends people to:

It tells how to pull the codes there.
