Spark plugs

Decided to change the plugs in my '66 with a 240. First time since I bought it.
Sometimes it's a little hard starting and sometimes starts right up. I haven't done any compression or leak down tests yet, but thought I would give everyone something to look at. #s 1 and 3 were horrible but over all the engine runs well......

No idea. I've had the truck for less than 2 years. I have about 8k miles on the truck since I bought it. The block dates to '72. My rpms went up about 175 after changing them. I plan on checking a lot of things when I rebuild the front end in the coming weeks.
