I really think it would be a good idea to have a thread about reading plugs for tuning. Last night I was helping a friend tune a bbc with a aem wideband but had a gut feeling the car was lean even though the wideband was saying other words, sure enough we may have saved his motor just by old fashion plug reading. Im not good with pics but maybe someone has a good pic of a plug from a well tuned car so we can show others what parts of the plug show you timing, a/f, heat range, detonation, etc. Todays sensors are great but plugs never lie.
