Is Slick50 or DuraLube any good?

Spark Plugs are White on one side, engine too hot?

Just changed the plugs on the 90 continental/122k that I just purchased. The plugs are white on one side of them. This indicates the the engine is running hot and lean, I guess. I installed new Motorcraft copper plugs. Is there an adjustment that I can make to the mixture to even this out? Would I g...
