I finally got the car cranked and Im sure its been over 5 to 10 years since it ran for any period of time. There is black smoke coming out the exhaust. Im thinking I should change the plugs and wires. I have changed the oil in it already as well. I also noticed that there is a little light smoke coming from out of the oil cap and from the dip stick hole. Any suggestions or things i should handle?

Try adjusting the air/fuel mix screw and idle speed-also replace the PCV valve
