Thank you for all the great information in your replies. I will try to answer them in this post.

Aussiein NC - Haven't done the compression test yet but will today if we get a break in this crazy NC weather, Not sure what you mean by check the vacuum port I used - it was the 3/16 manifold port. Should I have used a different one?

Steeveedee - its slow to crank - heat soaked - I have a mini gear reduction starter to instal

Toolboxchev - The other plugs are all clean and looked new. They were gapped at .035

GASoline71 - Edelbrock 1405 that appeared to be well used and the spacer is supposed to be a heat insulator.

cleszkie - That is the correct plug and my replacements are AC Delco R45TS gapped at.045. The other 7 that were in there burned clean.

Apologies if I missed anyone - Thanks again for the advice!
