    get a leak down tester and a air comp. put the cylinder u want to test at tdc. install test in spark plug whole. fill with air read the gauges. listen for air flow from the intake, exhaust, oil filler cap, and in the rad. look for bubbles.

    What he said. The timing looks ok. Verify that your spark plug wires are installed correctly and do a leak down test. What do the plugs look like?

    the spark plugs are pretty shity but i still dont see why that would make fireballs come out of my intake manifold...i got the firing order right 1342 starting at the bottom left when facing the dizzy like this

    o3 o4
    o1 o2

    i dont have the money for a leak down tester though im broke as hell
