It has been a long time since I have had to do any engine diagnosis...
I built my 355 out of a 95 pickup.
It has sat for some time..like 2 years.
Running like crap......carb dirty, but switching to Fitech RBI.
The #2 cylinder not firing, or maybe it is.
Header pipe only lukewarm when others are quite hot.
Spark plug is black, but dry.
I suspect they all are black; running rich...
I swapped in another plug wire to no avail.
Gonna try a new plug when they arrive.
Compression about 140# or so, so no valve problem.
Where should i be looking??
