I think my oil consumption is OK. I’ll do a double check tomorrow. I do get a little bit of exhaust when it starts up. I have spoken to Dennis Kelly before and he told me that both of this era were definitely tuned to run very rich.

Good advice! This is what I would run and do!

Looks like someone rewired it at some point upon closer inspection I’ll have to dig in more

Can you hear the fuel pump prime for a few seconds and the electric throttle body buzzing when the keyswitch is turned on? Check the 3 fuses and relays on the engine harness near the ECM.

It could be possible that the valve seals are going out. When the engine turns off, some oil stays on top of the heads. That oil can leak down through the valve seals into the cylinders. I believe my fathers 2005 lxi has the same problem. When we start it up after it sits for a week or two there is black smoke at first and smells rich while it runs for awhile.
Have you had any oil consumption?
