I have Autolite 25's and originally gapped them at .054 (what's recomended).
I removed them today and the gap is still at .054 but the electrode is frosty white. (I tried to take a good picture sevral times but all of them came out blurry)
*Does this mean that I am running lean? I do have a 161,000 mile motor with the original fuel pump and it is pretty loud.

Yeah, sounds a little lean...If its a nice light brown color it would be best....
Whats your timming at?....What fuel do you run, 91?
If thats all ledgit, you might wanna invest in a fuel pressure gauge....

Well the last time I set my timing it was at 14 degrees and all I have run is 91 octane except the past two weeks I have been running 89.
What do you think?

LOL 404 File not found.
Well I guess i'll keep running these plugs then. Do you think they are frosty white from running lean or can that be caused by using 91 octane?
