Another sparkplug thread. please help

removed sparkplug 1,2,7,8 today (will check the rest another evening.)
And they looked like this, why are they so wet ? and they kinda smell oil and number 7 smelled fuel..

what do you think, externalleak (even thou I dont see one near the plugs ?!

All sparkplugs are new AC Delco RJ45TS, and I have new sparkplug wires (MSD 8.5mm) and a new MSD Distributor. New blaster coil (MSD). basetiming is 6 deg. New Accel injectors ( ohm out at 15.5 each when hot.) they are the yellow ones... maybe they still arent spraying right..?!

when the car warms up it starts to shake and kinda "misses" the hole car shakes and its almost like there isnt a clean combustion/complete burn... really dont know what to do about this. Changed the ignition module to on the dist today.. havent tried so much . will do that later in the week, but there still are some shaking when the car warms up (runs pretty good while cold) the hotter it get the worse the shaking gets..
