couple questions
Na motor or nitrous?
That combo is similar to mine in my 67 I just a bigger cam and a couple other goodies.
Race gas motor I beilieve with 12.5 to one correct?
I'm almost positive I run an ngk I'll get you the part number when I run to the shop later. I should have both part numbers for the na and nitrous plugs I run

what is the part number of the plugs you got now? and how do they foul out? like when it idles or when your driveing it at low speeds?
when you foul them is it oil or fuel? and what is your plug gap?

I forgot to check my damn plug boxes. Are you shutting it done right after ideling? Or clearing it out first IE holding it at like 3k for 10-15 seconds and shutting it off during the rev?. Is it hard starting?

champion plugs are only good for lawnmowers [Razz]
stick with some NGKs
the cheap $1.99 plugs can outlast pretty much any other plug out there
and if you hear that imports should stick with NGK and Fords should stick with Motorcraft...thats just a buncha [BS flag]
but thats just my opinion [Wink]

gap it at 35 thou for a good start. usually go smaller from there for high hp motors.the smaller the gap the more intense and wont get blown out.do one change at a time and drive it to see what works best.i think u need to adjust your 4 corner idle mix screws in to lean it out.turn them all the way in one at a time until it starts to stumble and die then back it out till you get it to idle the highest.then do the next one.also make sure you throttle set screw isnt turned in to far and the butterflies are open to much and you arnt running on the primaries and not the idle circuit. fuckin carbs!!
