Converted to E85. Need help reading plugs.
 
Thoughts on these plugs. 96 Camaro full bolt ons, CC503, dual exhaust, 42 lbs injectors, stock thermostat. Pulled a few out after ~230 miles. Car is tuned for E85, and fuel in tank tested out to be 80-81% ethanol. No wide open pulls. Just moderate to heavy throttling. Mostly highway cruising.

I can’t help you read the plugs, but I am wondering why you’re converted for E85? Without extremely high compression or forced induction, the only thing that’s doing for you is cutting your fuel economy WAY down.

At the time the only fuel available was 87 octane. Not good when when you have 11 to 1
