spark plug advice?
I have a 632 with dart 360 heads, dominator carb with 88"s in the front and a 6.5 pv and 95's in the rear.... i currently have a set of ngk -8 plugs in it but i am afraid that they are too cold. I used to run autolite ar3932 but they are hard to find around here. it has been so humid the the engine is fouling plugs and i think with a couple of jet changed and a hotter plug i should be fine. anybody have any reccomendations? does anyone elese run power valves or do you guys block them off?

seems you have to much separation primary to secodary if you are running 2 power valves, I would block the secondary power valve, leave the front, run about a 6.5, but ck you vacume in gear, divide in half to get the right one, jet the secodary about 8-10 sizes above the primary, as far as plugs are concerned I like accels have been using them for years, easier to get from a speed shop and seem to last forever, Rob

If you are fouling pluds when get humid, it's overlly rich, try going down 4 sizes ft and rear...should get you close, if you are fouling you are way rich anyway...Rob

I think you are on the right track with the reduction in jets. NGK plugs are good, try the -9's.

Aren't 9's colder in NGK's? I understand if he gets his jetting correct, but wouldn't he just be making it worse going to a colder plug? defeating the jetting. I run NGK UR5's (Vgroove) which is a pretty hot plug.

is it fouling just at idle? |
Woops...them maybe try the -7's. I have run the -7, -8 and -9 and ended up with the -8's.
If you are running the 3-circuit Dominators you are likely going to fight rich in the mid-range forever. If you are, consider selling this carb an get the 1050 or 1150 2-circuit. I run PV's (PV's are opening late at 5300 RPM+) front and rear with 87 X 88 jets. Testing with a A/F ratio gauge, we am real close to our A/F ratio targets. I am still messing with the idle circuits so not quite finished with the final jetting. |

What engines do you have? I have 500EFI's and was told to use NGK 5YR or NGK 5UR if long idles/no wake zones. Does this advice sound correct?
