the choke has gone bad and cause it to "load up" and burn rich and ruin the spark plug. it also has over 180,000 miles on it. and it does not idol right

don't forget you have a spred-bore intake, the small Edelbrock may be a easier swap for you, i'm starting to build a collection of Q-jet's if you get rid
