Re: Spark Plugs What is wrong?

Cyl 3,4 and 6 all look like water contamination within the combustion chamber...

Compression test and leak down test...most likely blown head gasket between 4 and 6...

Could also be a lean out due to manifold crack...is this a two barrel or four barrel carb?

Open plenum manifold or closed ?

Re: Spark Plugs What is wrong?

I would get a correct set of matched plugs gapped correctly and run it again before you get too crazy trying to diagnose whats wrong , the threads don't even look the same length let alone the heat range can't be the same .
