I laid awake in bed last night trying to figure out what I was missing. Finally dawned on me about 1AM to check the firing order again. That made perfect sense as to why only #1 plug showed signs of firing. I know it was correct when I had it out on the bench but I did have to remove the wires to clear a big hydraulic hose when I slid it back into the machine. Thought I just pulled them off for a minute and put them right back on in the same sequence. Apparently not! DUH!!
I was so hung up on believing I timed the distributor wrong somehow that it just didn�t occur to me. I verified this morning that # 2,3,4 were in the wrong sequence. Didn�t have time to try it again as I had all the plugs out but am sure that�s the problem. Will try it tonight when I get home. Funny how the simplest things can trip you up sometimes. Thanks for everyone�s input!

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
