Default build up on spark plugs???

I took a spark plug out today and it was whiteish grey with a bunch of carbon buildup on it. I know the whiteness means Lean, but what can I do about the build-up? Would a colder or hotter plug help with that or what??

How long have the plugs been in there? That's normal for old plugs. Time to change them.

Stay with your stock delco plugs, they have the right heat range for a stock motor. 100K is the proclaimed change interval, but most people change @ 60-75K. Oil deposits are most likely what is built-up on your electrode.
