spark plug evaluation - help - timing? running temp?

YOU ALL ROCK, -picking this thread baxk up from a few weeks ago- JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

Right after my last post, my sister was involved in an auto accident

Azhol, punkaz kid, coca-cola'd out of his mind couldn't stop at the red light because he was texting his dealer asking for more- im telling you, crazy - cant make this shi'aat up, they got that off his phone & with time stamps-

Any way, after two surgical procedures she has since (past Sunday) been released and will, without question, pull it back to 100%! Touch and go for a while there. Who knew humpty dumpty was my sis?

I haven't opened this (or any other) forum for more than 3 seconds for the past 2 weeks. Its been a long hard ride. But im back.

Im gonna grab a cold Budweiser, perch in the rocking chair and read all of this. Its past time to get back on it.

My nerves could use a set of brakes...

Thanks so much again, seriously, thank you to all that have contributed. So good.

@Jwernatl You ever figure out your spark plugs being half white, have black? I have the exact same issue. 10 degrees advanced. Chevy 350. No clue. AC Delco R45TS Plugs.

i would think your combustion chamber is not consistent inside, possibly carbon deposits heavily on a part, maybe a oil control issue in one spot, maybe a chipped piston if you push any power or got a little pingy

Otherwise I would think maybe you have a AFR thats changing like a gummed up carb? you into clocking those bad boys? How old are they? They havent used that number for a long time, but i cant judge thats in my engine right now. long trips, short trips? tsat?
can you flip that plug over and show the ceramic and note anything on it. i see some hot looking baking near the bottom, is there any carbon tracks or is the rubber boot have any contamination on it thats interupting the seal in the wire?

hot spot. carbon deposits? chipped piston?

@AuroraGirl Every single plug is the same. Could be, but I doubt every piston is chipped, cylinder has hot spots or has same carbon deposits.

hmm. i would look at the ignition side of things or a camshaft to crankshaft issue, such as a maybe chain installed off proper or gettting worn. otherwise i would say it should all be contained to the distributor based on how i would approach it. if you were gonna ever have stuff off for timing cover seal or maintainence, worth a look. but if your distributor is old or coil is old, maybe worth trying some different units for a monitoring of how it goes
