My new square has a miss
Thought about doing that but I really have no desire to tear into the motor to do either rings or valves. I'd just replace the motor and get that dog of a 305 out of there if I decide to do anything at all.- lcann25

My new square has a miss
#3 cylinder has 40PSI of compression. Didn't bother to test it any further than that. Case closed. Thanks for all your help everyone! I really appreciate it.- lcann25

My new square has a miss
I may be starting to narrow this down a bit... Started pulling wires off last night with the truck running and some make a noticeable difference to the idle, some hardly at all. #3 makes very little difference when yanked off, and the spark is very weak.

Hopefully...- lcann25

Good advise guys. I frowned as soon as I saw Champion on the first plug I pulled out, knew it wasn't right but didn't think they could possibly cause a miss, Ive had SBC's with all different kinds of varieties of plugs and never really had a problem.

My new square has a miss
Hello everyone, First post here! I just got my 1984 C10 with a 305( I think) a few days ago, and I have to admit that I basically bought the truck sight unseen from a common acquaintance. Well upon driving the truck home I knew something wasn't right and it didn't seem to be running on all...- lcann25
