Pulled the plugs and noticed that 1,8,4,3 where tan-ish. Plugs 6,5,7,2 were clean as a whistle. Same goes for the exhaust ports and tops of pistons. Thought the carb primary on one side of the dual plane intake was set bad and caused this, but that's not how the ports are separated. Then I realized that this difference is on the 180 degree rotation of the firing order, not the other. Any ideas on what is causing this?
My thought was distributor or distributor cap. The odds of the plugs or plug wires being bad in coincidence with the firing order as noted is astronomical, IMO. The distributor is an original and not updated, yet. The cap, rotor, wires, and plugs were all brand new. New distributor from Summit is on it's way!
