2,3 and 4 look nice, a good tan color.

WTF is all that crap baked on to the #1 plug.

[winstontj]

That's why I posted... to ask you...

It's some kind of sooty crap. It's buildup. There's still a gap but it's white crap surrounded by black ash...

Give us a good clean top shot of that F'ed plug.

Or take a look at this,

looks like the deposits plug I think. Burning oil in the #1, a leakdown and compression test would be the next step.

I can't get a decent shot with things in focus but it looks exactly like this....

It's #1 cyl. Is this cyl prone to anything crazy or should I look at mechanical issues? The car is in tune, needs new cap and rotor but runs well. As soon as I put new plugs in it runs great - for about 5 minutes... then craps out again and starts shaking.... Even running it up in high rpms dosen't blow out any carbon, etc. It just sticks...... All other 3 plugs are great... just #1 bad

time for a leakdown test, possibly broken ring or something ... good luck with it!

Go buy a set of NGK BP6ES and run them for 30 min then post which works the best.

No brainer ------ toss the autolite shit
