I have a 26 T engine that has been fully rebuilt a couple of years ago. It is missing on #1 cylinder because when I short out the plug it slows the engine down very little. Compression is 52 lbs across the cylinders(dry) I didn't do it wet. Has new plugs, wires, Anderson Timer and I have changed the coils out and still have the same issue. I have had the engine running in the dark to make sure I don't have any shorts from the coil box and I found none. When I took the plugs out of #1 and #2 plug they were blackened like they were running rich and the other two were white. It has a alum. high compression head, could this be the problem in some way??? Happy to hear about any other ideas to look at....

Re: Engine missing issues
Classic intake manifold leak symptom.
Two clean and two sooted plugs is not a problem, it is a symptom.
Easy and cheap fix
