spark plugs

Hey guys I have a question,I have a 390, with a 2bbl holly carb and a Mallory uni lite electronic conversion kit, the question is wen I am cruising and I let go the accelerator pedal my truck kinda troughs explosions not loud but you could hear like thunder rumble.I was thinking of adjusting the idle out about a 1/8 of a turn, sense my spark plugs need a little color they look kinda white like if its running lean, what do you guys think i could do to add color to the plugs, and to solve the rumble sound of the explosions. thanks in advance
