Here is a pic of my #8 plug, engine was started last month, not sure if you will be able to see in the pic but it almost looks like rust
Thoughts?

Tells me that you are going to have a pretty bad miss , until you put it back in.
Ok seriously, I'm guessing that you have had some hi-humidity in the engine compartment and maybe that intake valve was open letting the wet mix in ???
What did the other plugs look like ?

all the other plugs look about the same color this one just had the rust like corrosion
I had a dominator on it and had it jetted at 86 squared so that's why I think I was fat
I was just a little worried about the moisture deal as it was the first time I have ever had this issue, might do a leak down just in case
VP C12 is in the tank

Is that from idleing? If so, you need to work on the idle circuit plus a p/v is your friend..........

IF it was rust.. your engine is rusting to death
right before your eyes... no I doubt that... fuels
will a LOT of times leave a hue on the plugs... yours
might be because its dog fat.. I would suggest a PV
and jet down on the primaries to get it leaned out

And yes that was just ideling with a couple throttle whomps

You can go with the smaller carb or maybe you know
someone with a 8082 1050 to borrow OR change your 3
circuit over to a 2 circuit... I've never had a hard
time getting any of the 3 circuit doms to idle.. even
without a PV... mid is the problem point
