exhaust resonator

can the resonator get clogged.Got 84 ford econoline 302.Still running to rich it seems slight exhaust smell .And burns gas like there's no tomorrow.Cat converter I hollowed it out. it was all bad inside broke all the bee hive stuff out very easily.I thought it was my prob but still sucks down the petro.8-9 miles a gal.Maybe carb is just worn.Van run smooth don't burn oil .Also plugs are carboned up even after cleaning them.That's probly my prob bad fuel mix I got adjustments set to the book turned both in till slight rough running and then backed off 1/1/2 turns.idles nice and responsive but nothing works causing plugs to carbonize Any input,RJLB
