Hi. My 85 cj7 has black soot around the tail pipe and backfires once and awhile especially after driving a bit. The idle seems to be a bit low nowadays. Does anyone think its running rich. Any help would be great.

Check the timing. When was the last time you did a complete tune-up?

Axle swap

I've only changed the oil and the air filter. Thanks for a place to start
