I'll add a few things that I haven't seen mentioned yet.
First thing is your compression readings do not indicate a problem with rings. The only reason I could see for oil consumption coming past the rings would be if the gaps were all lined up. Since it ran for years previously without excessive oil consumption, that would rule out problems with the rings.
My gut feeling is that you have a problem with the head. Worn out guides, bad guide seals, or a combination of both of them.
For the black smoke, my best guess is either the float level is too high or there is a porosity in the body. Fuel is getting where it should not be going. As others have said, smoke like that comes from too much fuel.
