Random B18 engine anomalies 140-160 1968

It's flooding.
Could be leaky float valves, float level too high, fuel pressure too high (off-brand fuel pump) etc.
The black smoke = mixture WAY too rich. Behavior confirms it. So does gas mileage.
Fuel pressure should be 3 psi or less. Set float level per the manual.
