my 364 is not firing in cylinders 2 and 4. i'm sort of at a loss. compression is good, i put in new wires, plugs and rotor. plenty of spark coming out of the wires, the plugs are firing and gapped right. when run, if you pull the wires for 2 and 4 there is no difference. the carb has been rebuilt. the valves do not seem to stick or be bent. the passenger bank is firing clean, but on the driver side the exhaust smells a lot like gas. i'm sort of at a loss. any help?
Make sure that your spark plug is getting a good ground? Try switching the plugs around to different cylinders to make sure that it is not a bad plig on the offending cylinders? There is probably a real cure for your problem but that is a start.
A compression guage will tell you if the head gasket is blown between the two cylinders. I suspect that it is.
I don't see distributor cap on your list of replaced parts. Might have a crack or a carbon trace causing some weird behavior.
