I haven't had time to pull the rest of the plugs. Hopefully will get to that tonight. I imagine they are all the same since they were all black before. Some worse than others, but all of them were real black.
Hey Brad, I just popped on and saw your post. I have been through this same nightmare since I purchased my '35 in Dec. After doing everything several times over, my problem was all carburetor. I even rebuilt the carb but the carb was worn out and it still was running rich and also leaking fuel after turning off. I decided to purchase an aftermarket carb for $150 on ebay to try lastly before spending the big bucks for a new one and since, the car never ran so goooood! Went form 10 mpg to 15mpg. Just my input. Good luck !
