when you did your compression test did you have all the spark plugs out..because it could be blown out inbetween cylinders/gasket didnt seat
The spark plugs were out on the side performing the test on, so four were out at a time. Also, the headgasket on the passenger side head did blow on the first attempt to start it, after going through another gasket it was good to go after that..

hmm..you left in the old cam right..you didnt do anything like change the style cam(etc to a older 302 firing order,and you do have the firing order correct)
Yes, the stock cam is in, it ran fine before the head and piston ring swap. The stock firing order was used before and after.

pin 30 is elec shift/4x4..out of curiosty why is that taped off..ive ran 9ap computers in 5spds b4..
PKRWD stated if a 5speed computer was put in the AOD car, even with it being converted to a 5speed, it would ruin the computer. I confirmed this by putting my 5speed ECM from the Coupe into the GT and it went bad instantly. If I stick with an AOD computer, I don't need to cut the wire, if I go with a 5speed, I needed it cut.

BTW what is it doing..those plugs are going black?i know that truck computers had tendencies to make the #8 plugs black andthen leading to detination leading to holes in pistons..seen that first hand..strange only in that one cylinder

It has no power at all when trying to drive, when we looked closer is seemed the injectors were staying open, when we pulled the cylinders that weren't firing they were wet with gas, not firing at all. The others were normal...
