I guess I found out why I am getting spark retard.

Well I ordered another Block KS in the hope to desensitize it, possibly due to valve train noise etc etc.

Before I was to mess with that tommorrow, last night I took the car out, drove it hard and parked it as soon as I stopped, no idling. This is the best way to check plugs.

It was too hot to pull one or two of them, so I waited till this evening. I pulled #3 and #7 Since I have easy access. On both of them, on the outside part of the tang, the peice that hangs over the top. It was ashy, white. I could wipe it off with my finger.

It was my hope that it wasnt lean and just the car being stupid. But alas it wasnt. Its running lean, lean to the point where its making less power.

So its my hope to get Bryan herter on this issue ASAP, but from what he told me, at least 2 weeks.... wtf! But I can still drive it, im just not going to race it.

Which is not to say, I still cant be getting retard from the "noise" but I gotta get a better mixture before I try to desensitize the sensor
