Tom, I have a whole lot of the washers. Bought them by the 100's when I
fought
this battle in the 70's when the gas started to change for the worse.
Used them all the time on my 392's.
Until 74 or so they were NOT a problem. Then unleaded gas started to
come out
and the gas cos started to drop the octain of the leaded gas.
Went from normal wear to maybe 500 miles befor the plugs started to
foul.
Friend had a station and we tried a lot of things. Played with heat
ranges,
timing and some other stuff I forget.
