The brownish, ash on the backside of ground strap resembles deposits I've had with coolant/water in the cyl. You say 1 & 3 ? Maybe do a pressure test on the cooling system. Nitros is hard on head gaskets due to higher cyl. pressures. :cheers:

What plugs do you run Chris?

I usually run Autolite 103 plugs (2 stages colder than stock) gapped at 35. Right now I have a set of NGK TR5 (stock range) in there gapped at 35. You can run a 100 shot on stock range plugs as long as they are copper core. If you run a 150 on stock heat range plugs it is probably a good idea to run some race gas mix. I have also run Autolite 104's and stock heat range Autolite 106's.

Chris
Those Autolites are a tapered seat plug, right / wrong ? The L98's use a gasket seat ?

I'm using Champion 3924's in my Canfield heads, N/A. Going to go to 3923's or 3922's with some spray. These numbers are for gasket seats.
