So, here's the FITZY update for today.
ENGINE
Fired car up and it smoked a little and blackened the plugs again but less than it did with the colder plugs . Fuel mix screws were then turned in a little cuz Fitzy wanted to try that and it supposedly idles the same but quit smoking and the plugs are much less black.
SUMMARY
The hotter plugs are burning off a significantly greater amount of the fuel than the other plugs as I had hoped they would so they are not instantly fouling like his others were.
The smoking might have stopped by itself after the engine got warmer anyway so this is inconclusive.
Fitzy followed instructions for a change and got the thermostat installed and it doesn't leak.
The new thermostat is working and his engine FINALLY got up to around 125 f after maybe 5 minutes of running, so the thing should run right on 180 like a real car instead of the 150 or so it would occasionally reach before.
EXHAUST
It has between 2 1/2" to 3" tubes going int a small resonator on each side then into mufflers after that . It does not look like it has a cross over . If it does not, this is why his engine sounds like a race engine and his exhaust tone sounds GAY.
COLORTUNE
Looks like he will be ordering it today for "overnight" delivery.
MSD BOX
I think I have finally convinced him to get one.
Anyone want to buy a separate MSD soft touch rev limiter cheap?
FUEL PUMP
Well, I haven't had the heart to tell him yet but his $500.00 CV billet fuel pump is junk so he needs another one.
