Did you put the vacuum line back on the fuel pressurre regulator?

Did you pinch any of the injector wiring harness between the upper & lower manifold?

black smoke sounds like a fuel problem - too much... do you have a fuel pressure gauge? did you pull the distributor too? or leave it in? might be a tooth off, hard to say man
