Interesting problem. Black deposits would tend to indicate that those two cylinders are running rich. Is it possible that 1 & 2 are running cooler than the rest of the engine (maybe getting better coolant circulation???).

What about the possibility of an intake manifold leak thats causing one end of the engine to run a little bit leaner than the other. If you set the idle mixture for best idle you would easily have compensated for a small leak. A small leak would also have little or ne effect under load.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is to try hotter plugs. My late father was mechanic/shop foreman for an IH dealer in Oregon when I was growing up in the 60's. I never paid much attention to why, but I seem to remember using Champion J-8 spark plugs in most of those old engines. I really have no idea if Autolites could or could not be a problem.

Maybe this'll trigger someone else's ideas...
