Sounds like you mixture is rich and you need to adjust your on/off ratio. Lots of posts on how to do this with a dwell meter or DMM with a duty cycle. Maybe do this after you've replaces the O2 sensor as JNT suggests.

Other causes, less likely, are a sticking plunger in the fuel distributor, or a bad temp sensor, telling the computer to enrich because it thinks the engine is still warming up.
