    I havn't read all you posted prior to this,If valve covers are not leaking and oil is not running down into plugs then it's obviously internal.Yes a (MSD set up will help)But if this is A Drag-Car only I think A (MSD-Cranktrigger) is money well spent.When are you checking your plugs to find them Black and sooty,setting in the garage or returning to the pits after a pass down the track,If so thay should be black.(IF you can only shut off your engine with steering lock colum do not do this test for obvious reasons!!!.Find a road like the return road at the track ETC.make A (WOT)blast cleaning carbun off plugs then shut it off,pull plugs at this point, IF still black to rich/ IF white to lean shooten for that tanish color.What thickness of spacer plate do you have under carb,What FUEL type are you running CAM-2 ETC.the reason I ask is if I forgget to buy Cam-2 befor going to track I have to buy VP-racing gas at track and rejet my carb,it makes my car run lean on the bigend with my set up.one last thing is your fuel pump mechanical or electric.
