Ok so after reading all 3 links...the first link says ground strap shows heat range and the other 2 links say it shows timing...so which is it?



This is the internet... you might get some more ideas
BUT I've use the strap as a timing indicator... as
in the link I posted





i also use the stap to check timing. on gas that is. iam getting ready to run my fist alky motor, how will this affect it?



Alky makes it harder to read, it will burn considerably cleaner because it doesnt have any additives in it. I run NGKs with alky and many use the threads to judge it. You will have to google it up and see what I mean, cant think how to explain it right now.

i would guess you are running an octane booster by the color, it looks alittle fat to me.. plus the tip of the strap looks like it is hot, maybe try a cooler plug. the timing mark on the strap should be right on the arch/bend and i would say your valve seals are going ..but im prolly wrong

the fact that it has 2K mile on it is a joke.the oil could be just from startup too rich or like said valve seals going...put some fresh plugs in it and check it a few times.

Sorry to all. I should have done some reading before I posted pics.

I will get NEW plugs and go racing Wednesday

Also the oil on the plugs is misleading because it gets on the threads and circle as I pull it out.
