Cut the boot off the wire and this is what I found.




you need that get that crap off and put some "Firecore" wires on it and some TTI headers on so you don't burn up any wires.

I have an infrared heat gun. When something like this happens, i can use it to test the heat of each header pipe to see what cylinder the miss is in. Helped me to find a broken injector wire on my Daily driver.

Sounds like someone put a two barrel carb and a set of mufflers on it. 3 carbs-2 MSD boxs-2 fuel pumps-3 sets of plugs-cap&rotor. all been change. check valve lash 5 times ! springs look ok not that old-Just took the front of the motor apart everything on the timing chain looks great. also change it from e-85 to gas no change. timing is rock solid. 18-34 .
nothing in the oil filter. compression test good 100-170 . will not rev up..not crisp and clean. What else to check- ideas..split them out !


It still the 100 year old question. Is it getting fuel and ign? sounds like you covered the ign. do you have a carb to try?

A tenth has been my experience in the 1/8th mile with a cylinder down from a plug wire.

Car ran 7.14 tonight. so I got my 5 tenths back !

I think how much you lost with a dead hole depends on your HP to weight . me at 500hp with 3900 with me in the car. it hurt
