My 422 smallblock build

Ordered new pushrods from Smith Brothers. Ended up being .150” longer than the first set. Which is coincidentally the same depth as the cup in the pushrod. I suppose it’s possible that I measured overall length but told them effective length. Anyway, got everything installed and adjusted properly.
Now I’m working on the tuneup. I feel like it’s lean at at very little throttle but everywhere else is pretty close. It comes on immediately with the mash of the pedal with no hesitation and pulls hard past 6k.
Currently 20* initial, 34* total. Idles at 950rpm with 9 inches of vacuum on 93 pump gas.
Give me your opinions on these plugs. Autolite 65s.

Look at the center electrode. It’s got too much heat in it. I’d start by getting some timing out of it.


Where is the 34 total all in at?

It ain’t happy for dang sure.
