87 tbi running rich

Look really close at the injector spray pattern. Very likely that you'll see an occasional drip... 
Pretty common on older TBI's. Makes the exhaust dang near burn your eyes at idle.

I dont know how likely it would be but there is an internal regulator inside the tbi, its possible that its letting too much fuel pressure into the injectors. But more than likely as mentioned the injector themselves are leaky...happened to me on my 87 tbi 350.
Big block TBI are prone to base gasket leaks. Another spot to check is vacuum line to MAP sensor. What I'm getting at too is vacuum leaks would be a number one cause of running rich. Have you checked fuel pressure? Have you checked for codes?
