1932 unmodified fouling plugs 3 & 4

[Etherman]

I've got what feels like misfiring in my 1932. In addition, I have to open the GAV an entire turn to supply enough fuel to run under load.

I replaced the plugs with brand new plugs. After a short test drive, plugs 3 and 4 are fouled but 1 and 2 are "wet" with fuel.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Try to separate the differences, from what you say, your guessing 3&4 have a miss. Shorting out ignition on one hols at a time to see who's working and who's not is called a cylinder balance test. Look at the wetness, is it oil or fuel. Compression is required along with ignition and air fuel mixture and timing of valves and ignition. Take one at a time and do visual inspections and then physical tests on a cylinder by cylinder basis and system by system basis. If not you'll only get stories about what happened to my car just like your car only it was a Dodge 2 ton truck converted to a spray rig on my uncle's farm.

start with basics. clean and gap plugs again, set to 35 . run you car again and see if you have repeat results. don't start buying and changing parts . GAV adjustments are unique it seems to different cars . I am currently trying to and have resolved a similar problem and discovered a faulty coil less than 6 months in use. don't assume anything . where is your spark lever advanced when driving?

Also do a compression check.

Sounds like you have some stuck rings. Soak the piston with
Marvel Mystery oil for a few days. Put 1/2 Quart in the oil and
a Quart in the gas tank. G.M.
