Hey guys. So here is my dilemma. I just finished rebuilding my 292 and fired it up for the first time. It fires up and seems like it is running great but when I check to make sure all of my cylinders are doing their part with my test light at the distributer cap I see that cylinder 7 does not bog the engine down like the rest.
I have pulled the valve covers back off to check the push rods and valve lash on every cylinder. Did a compression test on cylinder 7. Flip flopped spark plugs and wires with cylinder 8. I have good spark. I am at a loss right now. Any ideas? I'm hoping I'm just missing something simple.

 

What is the result of the compression test? Check at least a couple other cylinders to see how it compares.

Did the miss follow the plug wire, started missing on 8 instead of 7, or did it stay the same?

 

I got the problem figured out! The intake gaskets were a hair to small and cylinder 7 was sucking air instead of fuel. Put new gaskets on and problem solved.
