I took some pictures of the plugs which I will try to find and post. The car is sitting in the garage for the winter so all I can do right now is try to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution by spring. I am not overly worried about the high gas comsumption because I don't put a lot of mileage on this car but it sure does seem to be strange that a small block in a light weight car can burn this much gas while appearing to be running lean. I had pulled plug #1 quite a few times when I had cast heads and it had some decent colour but cylinder #1 had a bad valve guide so some of the colour was coming from buring oil. I will check the rotor and get back to you.
