Smog issue, stock injectors needed?

A buddy recently bought a gorgeous low mile '99. Has a ten position box with no visible name and some unknown injectors. Puffs pretty black off idle even with the box set at zero. Won't pass cal smog as is.

Figured he'd have to replace the injectors with some stockers.
Is there any easier/cheaper way to reduce smoke on the snap test?
Want ad removed site violation

Thanks in advance.

I take it you tried all positions on the unknown box and also removed it as well to see if that helped reduce the smoking.
