Ok i just pulled out all my spark plugs and noticed the tip of the spark plug where the top metal bends and covers the spark area is white... Does this mean anything?

oh ok, well did a research and it means thats normal....

Something crazy i noticed.. All my spark plus are autolite 25s except ONE of it..It was a autolite 3924 and its yellowish... and the autolite 3924 is alot longer tip then 24s... I have a feeling this was causing a little problem in the engine..

What do you guys think?

was the different one the same as the plug that was a bit white?

maybe that one was just making the cylinder temps a bit hotter hence the whiter tip

or

if the odd one was yellower then maybe just having trouble having trouble crossing the gap hence the color

That does sound farmiliar. In the back of the Autolite book, are the 3924 or 3923's a stage cooler by chance. Just wondering why I was so sure the 392#'s were in them.
