Default HIGH COMPRESSION ENGINE: BURNING OUT PLUGS

I wondered if anyone would have any suggestions for ressolving a 1986 347 Stroker HO High Compression Mustang engine that keeps burning out its plugs every two days? (Type of spark plugs? etc...)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew

What type of ignition does it have and what do you mean by burning out its plugs? Does the electrode actually burn off?

MSD6A with Taylor 8mm wires and there's no physical sign that they are burnt out except when I try them out on another car they don't spark at all, but not all of the plugs go at once. (One or two at a time) And only after I have turned off the car the next day and try and start it up its not firing. And the cycle repeats itself.

Its a tunnel ram with dual poly 600s on the induction site. Its a rebuild with all new parts.

Are the Taylor wires resistor wires? You can't use solid core wires with an MSD 6 series.
