Keith, they definitely look "wet" and rich to me. All the plugs look rich. The crud on 4 and 8 looks carbon like. Is the wetness I see on the threads oily, or does it smell like gas? How does the car sound? Any popping/backfires noises (i.e. bent pushrod)? The advice to start with a compression check is sound advice, then check your timing , then fuel mixture, then tweak your iginition components if needed.
