    Spark plug

    I’m running headers so it couldn’t be the butterfly on the old manifold. I will check for a leak in a minute, the sound goes away when it’s off idle.

    Something that I stupidly left out of the post is that the right side idle mixture screw is wollowed out and isn’t able to lean out.

    Okay thanks, will do. Do you know why only half the plug looks brown and the other half is white?

    Spark plug

    Has anyone seen this on a plug? If so what is causing it? Engine is a 355 with 3,000 miles and is running rich. It makes what I think it’s a knock sound coming through the exhaust. All the plugs on the right side of the engine look like this however the left side plugs look normal.

    She run’s pretty damn well, I rebuilt the engine around 300 miles ago. She’s got a stock bottom end, .30 bore, heads from a 71 camero, new edlebrock intake, 1103 summit cam, headers and a street fire msd distributor

    So the tach is probably just in a six cylinder setting and my rpm at 55 is about where it should be?

    I got 3 3/4 turns on the driveshaft with two tire revolutions. How do I find out the gear ratio based on that?

    Sounds good, I’m gonna go get some gear oil and a gasket and change on that while I check the ratio

    Oddly enough this tach (which I bought on Amazon) advertises it works on 4-6-8 cylinders engines however it doesn’t have any switch to change between them

    According to this the axle is a 3.73 gear stock axle, how do I go about figuring out wether someone changed the gear ratio?

    The timing light has a tach on it
