383 fouls plugs
fresh 383 maybe 10 miles on it keeps fouling plugs , I know the carb needs to be tuned better any other things that would cause this

I was told I had some of the hotest plugs, but I can tell by my eyes burning it runs way to rich

Re: 383 fouls plugs
adjust your mixture screws all the way in towards the carb and back them out 2 1/2 turns out and start with that
1. what size carb do you have
2. what kind of carb are you running
3. what kind of ingition are you running stock HEI wit stock coil, if so for starters get a better coil hei's are fine but anything bigger than a 350 needs abigger coil for a better burn with more fuel

What is the fuel pressure to your carb?

Re: 383 fouls plugs
Real rich is bad on a fresh engine, suggest you look into a properly sized carb and jets...many put on a big carb and wonder "why does it not run faster?"
Aside from that, let us know what rings you used, i/e CrMoly rings take some time to seat...could be oil fouled...could be other things but "carb'ed 383 fouls plugs"...isn't a lot to go by
