Re: All my plugs are fouled?

Was the timing near normal even if unsteady? Thinking if the timing chain jumped, the timing would be way off.

Oil pressure normal? Since the oil pump is driven by the distributor, if the cam/distributor gear stripped, should adversely impact oil pressure.

Brakes working normally? If power brakes, maybe the booster developed a bad leak.

Bad gas?

If mechanical fuel pump, check the pressure. Maybe the cam lobe that drives the pump push rod died.

Do check the float/seat setup. It only takes a speck of crap to cause a flood condition in the carb.
