spark plug ?

I am pulling the TR6 plugs out of my car....so far I have pulled the 3 from front to back on the drivers side...and all of the tips of them are green...why is this? I am not sure how many miles are on them from the previous owner...I just bought the car less than 2 months ago...and I am already having to take the trans out..thats a different story though...it has MSD wires and one of the wires just broke...the end(not the electrode tip) the part where the wire fits over it was bent rather badly...and the rubber that fits around the plug is extrememly hard and it broke while I was taking it off...mainly wondering why the tips are green..

Anyone know where I can get some new MSD wires for CHEAP!!! I heard that a sponsor on here sells them relatively cheap.

I would replace the plugs for sure. I have no idea why the tips would be green though. Hopefully some one will be able to help you more.

Too the OP. Pics would really help but are they "wet"? Without seeing them I would best guess it as fuel additives prolly octane booster to help with pre-detonation with the no2...

Did you find why your TR6 tip is green, because I got the same problem with my TR6! Also got MSD wires in bad shape... maybe these wires cause this problem. I'll post pics of my plug tonight.
