: I've finally got my new /6 engine running
: good.It ran 16.30 @ 84.4 a couple days ago,
: pulling a 3330 pound 1971 Valiant with me in
: it. Works out to 168 net hp, although I was
: hoping for 200. The final carb set up specs
: are: 450 holley mechanical secondary, #62
: primary jets, #9 metering plate in the rear,
: the equivalent of #67 jets. 8.5 power valve,
: pink pump cam, #31 shooter for accelerator
: pump.
: I'd been jetting down the carb gradually from
: #66 primary jets, and had black spark plugs
: within 50 miles a lot. #62 jets were just
: enough to get rid of most of the black
: carbon, but I saw that #3 plug (Autolite 26)
: had a bunch of teeny tiny shiny specks all
: over the insulator. Is that something to be
: concerned about? No other plugs had any
: shiny powder on them.

: How is the over-all color on that plug, tan or
: "bone white"?
: Clean the plug (or replace it) and keep an eye
: on that cylinder. The smallest piece of
: "crud" going through the
: combustion process (with high cylunder
: pressures like yours) will
: "pepper" a plug fast, this is not
: a big deal, as long it is not an on-going
: condition. (it could be a real lean hole and
: over time, that will "burn" a
: piston)
