Default Small black smoke in Vtec

I just got some black smoke coming into Vtec. I know too much fuel is in the system. Bone Stock w/ 150K on the motor. You guys think its the Fuel pump?

What are my orders, that I should check?

Fuel pump>Fuel Injectors?

Thanks in advance

Running a cat, compression is strong all around at 157. I'm just embarrassed when smokes comes out. Going to go get a fuel inject leak next week, and test out the fuel pressure. I know old engines tend to be leaky at the injectors or pump.
