spark plugs
What is a really good way to clean up my sparkplugs? they are only about 2 months old and with my old holley carb i was running rich so it would foul them out. i have cleaned the up with a wire brush about 3 times but it still doesn't seem like they are sparking like they did 2 months ago. or what is a good name brand spark plug? i know that it has to be the plugs because after i cleaned them the truck ran sooo good but i still could never get the air and fule mixture right on my holley. i finally went to edelbrock and i havn;t had a problem with the plugs fouling out but i am afraid since they have fouled out once that they will never be as good.
Another question, is it possible to adjust a carb by using a vaccumm gauge? what is a really good way to adjust the air and fuel mixture on my eldbrock?
thanks for any suggestion

Why bother cleaning them, you already have them out, just go get some new ones! Put in a new set, and see how long they last. If they foul pretty quickly, but your sure the mixture is right, get a hotter heat range in that plug. Going to splitfires isnt going hotter though. Want one with a longer insulator to keep the tip hotter and burn off the crude. Might go to a hotter ignition system too.
