Thanks everyone for the replies. I did change out the gas already, have again checked my firing order (1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8) and checked the ground and voltage. I did re-gap the plugs to 45 according to what crane cams recommended for their dizzy, but other than that did not do anything else to the plugs. Today I shot a little starting fluid in the carb but it didn't change anything with those cylinders. Going now to see if I can find a different distributor to borrow. Gary, I have an aluminum 429 scj dual plane manifold. If a different dizzy doesn't help I will take the manifold off and re-do the gaskets. I'm pretty sure they are right but that is a good thought and will try it. Rick, I do have good shots of fuel coming out of both sides of the carb. The engine has mechanical lifters.
