I was hoping some smart people here could help me out. I have a 69 442 convertible with a 455 in it. The motor is basically stock as it was out of a car with 50,000 miles on it. It has new timing gears, aftermarket, distributor, cap, rotor wires, aluminum intake, and Holley carb with headers. the problem is the car will not run on cylinders five and seven.
The car starts fine idles with a choke on, warms up and idles on its own but it’s a very lumpy idle and those two cylinders are dead. They both have spark. They both have compression, and I’m presuming they both have fuel I don’t see how they couldn’t but they will not run. I’ve tried changing the distributor, cap, rotor, and wires. Still, they do not fire.
Does anyone have an idea what could be going on here?
