AFAIK
white smoke is oil burning
black smoke is unburned fuel
sounds like you are running rich, carb adjustment

RE: black smoke?
heres a check list
1) check the carb overall (tuned)
2)Check the jets
if niether of those fixes you problem, you need a new carb, and personally i would just go buy a new one. if your car is origional, stay autolite just for that , but if its modded (i dunno how with an I-6) go holley.

Pain?!?! replacing a fuel pump is so simple especially on a 6 because there is so much room on the engine bay.

ok, if the vaccum lines are good, then let the pain begin of replacing the fuel pump, both of them. better safe than sorry.
