These plugs were in my 55 cab they have about 2k miles on them. The car runs great original rebuilt solex 32 with shasta 1600 jugs and pistons 2k on them also .. . Should i be concerned that the bank is brown and the left side is more white? Picture posted upside down .. im guessing its a carb issue. Adjustments or a jet? Or ? I would like to avoid any long term issues.
Thanks
Regards Ned

I would start with checking the float levels, the most likely cause as long as the color is not due to a little oil burning.

Slight card adjustment is called for.

Unless the car spends lots of time idling, the idle adjustment screws are not likely to solve the problem, but not unreasonable to get it idling very smoothly first and see what happens.
