It always amazes me how much difference that little bugger makes when it gets all dirty or fails. I came on here today all ready to suggest the O2 sensors if you hadn't figured things out yet since it seems related to temps and the warm-up cycle, but you fixed it so even better!

No no idea really. Of course black sooty plug's is too rich. Nobody is "chiming in" on you having 49Lbs pressure on your OBD-I, 95.
My general take is to have it within parameters that the O2 sensor can trim. I picked up 1 mpg matching my injectors closer to the default rate, so when my renix is in open loop it's not extra rich. (which slows warming).
10 Lbs extra, (49, not 39), is sort if allot, 25% more. Again really IDK. I do doubt the 02 has the power to trim that much. Those of us that can't sniff/test the exhaust might just have porcelain color on the plugs. "carmel" went away with today's gas. Mine are pretty white/off white.
Now I'm curious. Do you happen to know the numbers on your injectors? 280 something, or what...
