I think I've tracked mine down to the EGR and the circuits involved with it.

If memory serves me, I think black fouled plugs indicate a rich condition.....

....have you checked codes?

It has been my experience(and trust me, I'm new at this....old muscle MOPAR guy normally ) there are a world of things that can be the problem.

My best friend in '80's GM is a little piece of metal with 2 prongs.

It usually tells me more than I want to know!LOL

you also have a timing problem right? i would fix the timing, get new plugs, then see where you are at.

I agree with Dewey316, put a timing light to it and shove in some new plugs.....93 oct shouldn't be giving you a problem!
