Running on 5 cylinders 1,7 and 8 aren't firing How are you guys doing,
I just recently swapped in an lq4 t56 into my 69 Camaro, and have fired it up. The only problem is that I ran it for a minute or so and went to check for leaks etc. and it seemed to not want to idle right and run rough. So I went and put the back of my hand next to each header pipe and found out that cylinders 1,7,and 8 are cool and the others are hot. I pulled the plugs from each cylinder and they look glossy so I am thinking its not the injectors. I just installed new plug wires and went over all the connections. So I tried swapping around the coil packs and its the same thing. I was wondering/hoping some one else had a similar problem through the search but nothing came up so I'm posting to see if anyone can help.
Thanks
Tom
