More tuneup, reading plugs

Spent some time today doing more tuneup work, and also watched the John Twist YouTube video on SU tuning.

I was able to use the piston-lift method to feel out the mixture, then cleaned the plugs (small wire brush and a blow-clean with the air hose) and went for a drive. Here's what the plugs now look like.

These pictures were taken in my garage, but I also checked them on the side of the road after shutting off the car while under power. Looked essentially the same.

Am I getting closer?
