Fellas I hestitate to mention a problem like this, cause its so general, but here it goes
I have cylinders 4 & 7 as dead with a minor and small amount of popping out the exhaust
( I removed wires from cap one by one, and with 4 & 7 removed, and No change with engine
operation/performance)
Parked the 56 commander wagon ( has later 259 V8, 1963 ) running fine with a 2 bbl carb ( w/ tarantula manifold )
I swapped for a 4bbl carb/ AFB Manifold combo-- car was idle for 2 days
Did all labor gasgeting, cleaning adhesive, Slow and detailed
I went to start-- then the problem
so i checked Fire order--fine
swapped 4 & 7 plugs--- no change
swapped 4 & 7 wires---no change
replaced cap and rotor ---- ( its a Delco distributor with Pertronix)
checked compression with standard tester--- good compression
checked valve lash for tightness--- nothing too tight
No intake leak
got spark
got fuel
I still have yet to do a leak down test--- any keen insight will be appreciated --- I am stumped--4 & 7 should fire
THANK U
