Reading spark plugs
1984 12A FB
Leading plugs are black with carbon. Trailing are clean and practically look new.
I've checked the ingnition system. All leads are firing correctly.
Thoughts?

black with carbon could be running rich, burning too much oil, or just old, or all the above. Being as your trailing plugs look good, I would find it hard to believe that your burning oil.
Plugs that look light greyish/brownish means your engine is running almost perfect.

No, it wasn't.
From the beginning this thread was a waste of our time. Like telling the doctor that you're not feeling well and asking him to give you his "thoughts" over the phone. When told twice that pictures were needed you told us you were "out of pocket"?

..and since there is no help or info being given...
I have the feeling this thread is turning sour quickly.
So,
THREAD CLOSED.(party is over..)
This is not the type of conduct that will be tolerated in this section.
Now if the OP can post threads that can provide info it can be answered quickly.
..and since this section is for NEW Members please be aware that the OP may not be as seasoned as the person trying to give a reply..SO in the future can we get direct sensible answers GENTLEMEN???
Thanks.
