Another weird thing is that that plug came out of cylinder #2, the miss was cylinder #1. I could definitely notice the miss and the power loss of the dead cylinder. Mine was more of dead cylinder than a little miss.

The miss is gone but it still has some serious fueling issues under vacuum, -3 to -17 LTFT under cruising.

Wow on that plug. I actually had an accel u-groove shorty plug in my 350 get completely hollowed out somehow. Electrode, insulator, everything. Still runs well now, of course using ngk's...

Half of the electrode part is gone as well as most of the ivory type stuff around it.
