Afternoon....Last saturday I started my 354....ran just fine...(15 mins)
Went out to go for a ride Sunday, started the ole hemi, and the engine started misfiring...checked the exhaust and found it was the left bank....pulled #1 its firing, Pulled #3 its firing, Pulled #5 its misfiring Pulled #7 its misfiring
changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, still misfiring.....
checked compression....160 psi in both.......

Found the problem....dont pull the plugs with the engine hot...oil dripped in the #5 #7 cylinders.....
kept fouling out the plugs....
poured a little gasoline in the cylinders....BLEW OUT THE OIL.....
PUT MORE NEW PLUGS IN......runs just fine now...
any one use copper spark plugs?.......
