RE: Cylinder not firing

When you have "a" cylinder not firing, it must be in the secondary ignition system. If you had a sporatic miss, it could be from the primary, but this is not your case. Therefore if it is an ignition problem, it must be either the plug, the wire or the distributor cap. If these are good, then you have a mechanical problem. Do you have a timing light? If so, attach it to the number 8 cylinder. Shine it on the hood and see if that cylinder is firing. Also make sure the wire is not run close to other wires, strange things can happen.
This thread, so far...
