    Plugs 5 and 8 wet

    Lower intake gasket right? Any chance I can just re torque the lower intake and dry it up? Its not major they were only slightly damp. 1 and 4 looked good.I changed the lower about 3 months ago..

    Wet I just assumed it was Coolant.. It did not smell like gas. When I pulled 8 and it was wet I tried to light it to see if it would burn off and it didn't.. Not oil could be condensation. Just seem logical because coolant runs across the front and back of the lower intake.

    The whole reason I pulled them out was a top end miss so I decided to regap the plugs..

    Here is one of the plugs this was 6, it was not wet but the wet ones look that same..



    Spark plugs fouled by MMT? From what I am reading that looks to be the case. Dont know if switching places where I get gas will help or not..

    Have you run any octane booster or Torco? Either will color a plug exactly like that.

    Do some diagnostics before throwing parts at it.

    Why do you think you need a fuel pump? Is fuel pressure dropping under load at high rpms causing a lean condition?

    Buy a hose and run the gauge up to a point where you can see it while driving around.
