What causes spark plugs to foul quickly?
What causes spark plugs to foul quickly? My car is an 83 Z-28 305 with a little over a 100,000 miles. The spark plugs foul up pretty quickly. Some get a lot of black oily stuff on them. Thanks

unfortunately, w/ 100 K miles, my guess wouild be your piston rings are shot. It happens, part of the game of high mileage. yOu have oil on ypur plugs from your description.

Oil.
Before my 305 came out, it litterally fouled a brand new set of plugs in 4 hours to the point were they were totally FUBAR.
