Isn't 150 a good number for compression? Definitely not dead

Im gonna say your compression for that cylinder is good looking at your picture. LS engine in the same picture I would look at the injector. Swap it for another and see if it goes to the cylinder you swap it to.

Make a noid light. A piece of speaker wire,2 t pins 2 leds,wire 1 led in each polarity use the t pins to back probe the injector connector,see if signal drops out while running. Mine is extra long so I can put it under the wiper and watch while driveng. Put a timing light on #5 see if spark drops out hot. Also did this engine originally have AFM?
