87 5.0 running rich

1987 f150 5.0 2wd single tank, at, stock. tail pipe stinks like gas, runs smooth, lost power, bad mileage. most sensors are new. tps, new iac new, all vac lines are new, pumps are new. o2 sensor is a year old, 32 psi fuel. all new ignition, new computer. has run great for months. lots of previous problems. all fixed.
3 months ago it would squeal both rear tires,now barely keeps up with traffic.
About a month ago started running rich.
Where should I start looking?
