I think that's what they are. Didn't look real close. But if they suck let me know. I bought this a month ago and it's what came with the truck.

I've always used autolites. But I figured with a new engine these had to be new also. Looks like they were.

autolite APP605's will do you fine if you like. If you decide you want to cross over to a total ignition system by msd you will want to use plain 605. No matter what gaps should be at .060.

So what do I do about the smoke problem. I don't wanna swap plugs and have them be ruined by some issue. Or are you recommending this as a possible fix?

No. just recommendation if you want to go autolites. How quickly does this puff go away. Is it tied the environmental weather changes. And if you crack the throttle wide numerous times does it happen too?

Nope. It puffs only after I'm parked all night. Or 8 hr day at work. If I give it gas and get after it, no smoke. If I feather it, no smoke. It's only after parked for awhile.

I am no mechanic, but I have the same problem.
I pulled a plug and it was white. My trusty mechanic said that it is usually from oil seeping into the cylinder from loose valves or rings, or a cylinder that is a bit off on shape.
My guess would be oil.
The antifreeze issue may be a failing waterpump. Check the weephole. surroundings for any antifreeze deposits.
Also, next time you notice a puddle, dip a finger and smell it. It could be condensation from the ac condenser, could be oil, could be antifreeze. Open your coolant reservoir and take a whiff. Pull your oil dipstick and take a whiff. If its ac condensation it won't smell like anything.
Just my 2 cents worth of backyard motor knowledge.
