Default lt1 problems

Ok here is the deal my car will start fine but after about 10 sec it starts to die. like a motor would if u left the choke on. also going down the road it will have the same symptoms and then die. I know it is getting to much fuel because after it dies it smokes as you turn it over and eventually it starts back up. Is there a type of choke ont hese cars? and if there is, is there a way to disable it? any other ideas are greatly appreciated.
