The engine does not smoke.Maybe a little in the morning after sitting all night,but never after firing it up in the morning.I have switched gas stations 4-5 times,that didn't help.I can't see any reason it would foul a plug.Any ideas welcome at this point.
It's a 1969 350,flat top pistons,original spec replacement cam,HEI,AC R45 plugs.Q-Jet carb.That's about it.

"Wheres the smoke"? I asked myself that one time.....the 307 in my 71 had a fresh top end, & really sounded sweet(300hp 350 heads). We headed to southern Il, with my motorcycle loaded in back & she was running great, knocking down 15-16 mpg with a set of 3.73's! Not so good on oil tho.....that BIOCTH drank 3 1/2 GALLONS of oil from Rock island to Carbondale & back!  On the way home the weather was good, So I rode the bike, & let the wifey drive the truck.....I never did see the smoke, but I could smell it(had to ride the bike ahead of the truck to keep the freakin oil spots off it!)  Needess to say ,it was "shortblock time" the following week  Best of luck,  L
