Any ideas, everybody.  I took a look at the plugs in my '78 B and the two 
plugs from the 1 and 4 cylinders have a black soot on them, indicating 
they are running rich(right?).  The plugs from two and three cylinders 
are a nice tan color, indicating that they're fine(mixture just right).  
I can't figure out why this would be.  The two cylinders that are running 
rich are on separate branches of my carb manifold, so i wouldn't imagine 
there is any clogging.  

Could this have something to do with my ignition again.  I wrote to the 
list a few months back, when I was having problems with backfiring.  Well 
that problem was narrowed down to bad points.  They were replaced and now 
all is fine.  Everything, that is except, for poor gas mileage.  I 
decided to check the plugs for indications of mixture.  That's when I 
noticed the problem.

Any hints anybody as to where to start.  

Thanks
Jurgen
