Srange behavior here. 1988 5.7L Alpha One is melting about 5 spark plug
electrodes. Have tested everything we can think of. Any ideas? Thanks.
Man do you need to correct this problem right now!!!! Your piston tops
and valves are next for the melt down!!!!
You are starving for fuel, she is lean for some reason. Weak fuel pump,
pinched fuel line, dirt in the strainer, look, look, look, til you find.
Your timing could be to far advanced causing detonation and ping, but
your trained ear listening to your engine with the lid open will be
your guide. If you continue running as is you're going to hear bang, and
that puff of smoke is going to be real expensive!

I agree does sound like lean running or detonation.
