I agree with wb6vvv , With all the research I did before buying my reconditioned 460ci motor, I found out if the 460ci is stock a 600cfm carb is all you need, I used a Holley 670cfm street avenger carb, your engine could be running way to rich - that will cause the plugs to go blackish....

I'm done with know everything, just ask you, type of guys, yet here you are with a problem that basic troubleshoot skills and engine knowledge would solve.
