Ford 8n no gas in back 2 cylinders

Brett123 · May 15, 2019

Doesnt seem like my number 4 and 3 cylinder r getting gas now. Have good spark. And compression?

What do you base that assumption on? Have you done compression check? does it run? if it does, maybe the front two are not firing and appear wet with fuel.

Is thing to do is verify that wires to 3 & 4 are not swapped. If ok, then move plugs from 1 & 2 to 3 & 4 & visa versa.

plug wires r correct and put new plugs in it. Isnt the firing order 1243 on the 8n ?

es, just like the drawing shows. However, since you have the drawing in front of you and still ask, that may suggest that you do not understand?

Brett123 · May 15, 2019

yup understand

For grins I would swap #3 and #4 wires and see what happens. You have nothing to lose! Do you have a front mount 8n or side mount distributor?
