Default uneven spark plugs

like it says 2 spark plugs have tons of gas on them, 1 has some gas, and 1 looks like it was partly glazed and didnt get enough fuel, when i took them out to check. would this be from faulty ignition timing. also does anybody know how to time a cars ignition without timing marks, i know theres got to be another way, since i dont want to have to keep buying plugs and having the same problem since thats the only thing i have to tune.

were they gapped properly, and all at the same settings?......i guess could be bad timing (cams), but since timing works across all 16valves at once, and not each combustion chamber seperatly, by logic id think it would be similar wear in all 4 plugs, so ovbiously either the injectors arent spraying right, or the spark plugs arent firing at the right time...are the wires, cap and rotor all newish/in good shape?

the wires and such are in good shape, i have msd 8.5s as some of you know they have a little trouble on the distributor end. anyways its highly possible that the injectors arent working right, but what should i do to check that? im going to go get some new plugs and time the ignition from there. also i have stock ef injectors that i could put in my si. would this make a difference, also its a stupid question but how would you lower your cars fuel pressure, i have an adjustable fpr that came with my car, and a pressure gauge.

Please, don't type in caps... It's a pain in the *** to read.

And as Confuc1ous said, talked about putting EF injectors in his SI...
