I just installed a new 351 in my car and it has a miss in 2 cylinders. I've narrowed it down to #3 and #6 cylinders that are not producing power. It has spark and there is compression at both cylinders but I don't have a gauge to check how much. This guy I work with said I may have a bent pushrod or that it may have glazed the cylinder walls(what does that mean?). I have checked the firing order and even tried to pull the dist and put it back 180 degrees out to check that with no luck. It ran a little rich when first fired up but I turned the regulator down to 38 lbs. Any ideas I'm ready to shoot it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :uzi: :bang: Did not check for pulse at injectors but getting constant power at red wire. I've heard that injectors pulse on ground side of circuit. How do I check for pulse at injectors. If no pulse than what do I do?

How did you narrow it down to what Cyl was missing? because I have a miss as well but I can't tell what Cyl is missing. I have not done a compression check yet but I guess I should.
Pulled wires on the cap while running with insulated spark plug wire pullers and listened for the engine to drop power. If no change than theres the dead cylinder.
