Spark plug condition

Post by 66corsaguy »

Would you all say this is normal or too much and possibly too rich?

I’ve been working on the car so almost all of these deposits are due to idleing.

Had the same situation trying to get a good idle. A quick bead blast and good as new!

Under normal operation yes. They look rich, but, a lot of idling and tinkering around might be the reason.
