		| Cylinder not firing |

		| Just getting my bored and stroked 390 going again after a rebuild and the no. 8 is not firing. This was happening before the rebuild which led me to believe bad spark plug wire or distributor. Today I started it cold and immediately put it in gear and made it misfire/not fire for 15 seconds then I touched all the header pipes and one was noticeably cooler, so I put a new spark plug in and a new wire on and tried again with no luck. Then I pulled the hose off the vacuum advance and plugged it and tried again with no change. Is it time for a new distributor? Coil is pretty new, cap and rotor are also pretty new and look normal. I'm running the stock distributor with a Pertronix unit.  |
