lean 460 melting plug boots
New here and could use some help.
Have 97 f350 with 460 (no MAF) that's running lean and creating so much heat from the exhaust that the plug boots are melting and feels like it's only running on 2 cylinders. Had head gaskets done when I noticed white smoke but still had power at that time. After a few hundred miles ex. gaskets went and it's been down hill ever since. Any idea what could be wrong? Appreciate any help.

late cam timing or ignition timing will cause the combustion to occor in the exh instead of inside the engine. this is the main cause of HighHEAT in the exh. You might want to check the roll pin on the distubtor gear.
I'd bet this condition didn't happen over time but all at once.
