Help lowing hydrocabons

[raider60]

My 1986 Ranger with 211650 miles on it has twice failed California smog tests because the hydrocarbons were too high. After the first failed test I replaced the PCV valve and spark plugs. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The plug wires are relatively new; the cap and rotor are not.
