Are you sure the distributor is in correct.New cam it could be out 180.Easiest thing to check.Just pull it and reinstall 180.That and firing order is counter clock wise.Rocky

Good God.Im 1/2 blind but those look like SB plugs.Unless it has aluminum heads they are the wrong plug.I believe he didnt say what heads but from the sounds I think iron which uses a short reach plug.Rocky
he said he has RPM's

Here's an idea, rotate the carb 180 degrees for testing purposes. If the dead cylinders start working and the live ones quit then you know it's your carb.
Years ago, I was working on my girlfriend's mom's Olds, seems the entire passenger's side of that 455 was dead. Pulled the plugs and the pass side ones were totally carboned up, I mean hooded over bad.
Replaced the intake gasket, new plugs and it ran great.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Success  . What area(s) of the carb did you clean that did the trick?
