Black smoke is coming out from the exhaust it starts right up but the idle is up and down

Black smoke means it's running rich, which could be leaky injector(s), bad coolant temps sensor, poor spark, bad plugs, bad fuel pressure regulator, and many others.

White smoke is water in the cylinders/exhaust. (bad head gasket) White with a bluish color is oil. Black smoke is to much fuel. Which do you have.

Black smoke and water come out from the exhaust

have you just came out from the car wash... if on normal driving or idle, water is a byproduct of engine combustion, the black smoke may indicate loose or broken piston rings..

1985 Ford F150 302,5.0 Smoking running Rich and idling high and low

first of all u need to determine what color of smoke it is and is it coming out of the exhaust pipe. black smoke means excessive gas burning ...blue smoke means burning oil ...white smoke if seen in warm weather conditions means coolant leak into cylinder heads... but as running rich and high low idle might have a vacuum leak or carburetor need new base gasket or rebuilt ... good luck
