SM got a pretty steady miss on #1 cylinder. Just did the head gasket about a month ago, and changed out the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points ect. So I proceeded to check the manifold studs, and all were tight. Passed the propane test. I suspected a stuck valve, but after a compression check, it turns out that wasn't the case. All the valves were set to tolerance and still tight. No bent rods. Timing wasn't off either. Turns out, the new Autolite spark plug in the number 1 hole had failed... Swapped in a D-21 from my H and it purred as it should. Moral of the story, start with the simple stuff first, and don't assume new parts don't fail right out of the box...lesson learned. Shawn
