I removed Auto lite 46 plugs, had to have been in for 15 years = around 1.000 miles. I have sand blasted several times. I have Mallory Unilite electronic pickup distributor W/mech tack drive , Mallory Pro Master coil, Mallory HyFire VI box, Dove tunnel wedge 2x4 intake aluminum Dove Canadain Super cobra Jet replica heads. Intake is ceramic coated inside and out. Starting it needs some extra throttle to lite it and keep it running to get it outside and warmed up, even with manual choke. It really depends on it being warmed up to get it running clean and idling.. Present plugs are all black. I've driven it home from Reno, up the peninsula , Ocean Shores, and Tacoma to Astoria and back
I'm considering buying new plugs for new smooth porcelain. better materials to alleviate some of the black build up, and so on.
