Are the plugs okay to run again or should I toss them. It's hard to find these where I live. I have one extra I throw in #8
Is my .033 Gap okay?

Gap is fine.
If the plugs are new you can keep them for later use but for tuning purposes you need to throw a fresh set in. I suggest cutting the threads to verify the fuel ring as well.

I'll pull the timing. I checked my tune and I had a leaner VE Table in the car. I went back to my table that is a tad richer.

I would throw that plug in #7 check that one as it seems to be the hottest ... so tune off of it.
Good luck!

I'm trying to get a handle on reading plugs as well. Can someone edit the photo's posted here with a few notes of what would make the plug a perfect plug? For example a line acrross where Timing would be perfect. or the plugs need to have more color here or there...........
I keep reading "color is at the half-way point on the strap" for timing. Well to me those plugs look to be just that. So I must not be completely understanding. Also is the jetting slightly lean because the Black ring didn't go all the way around the base? they have a few light colored areas yet.
Just looking for something a little more than "Yep pull 3-4 degrees".

Part of the pulling the extra timing is it simply to be safe. Guys like ATV run the same gas, check plugs every pass, and in general have a very good handle on the tuneup. They are able to tune a little more aggressive on their personal car. With a daily driver like Sarge's something as simple as gas with more ethanol or even spraying longer could hurt the car if he was tuned to aggressive.
