Spark Plugs provide the HEAT in the "Combustion" equation

We have driven Old Blue 100 miles and decided to establish a baseline of whats working and whats not. We started by looking under the truck for leaks and noticed a small puddle of water where we have been parking her at night ... must have some kids of water leak.

The gas leak at the Fuel pump we fixed in the first days she was at Casa has held and now there are no gas fumes in the garage when we open the door - YEAH!

We decided to pull the spark plugs and see what they look like.. We started with the front right from the drivers seat seat labels (1) on the Mallory dizzy and after pulling the wire and ratcheting out the plug we found a oil fowled plug. We wiped as much of the oil off as we could and replaced it, then moved on to number 2 and proceeded in sequence through the remaining 6. The front 2 plugs on each side are showing substantial oil deposits and we will have to find out what that means.

I didn't take any pictures because I presume we will find them in a similar condition after the next 100 miles .. hmmmmm .
