I HAVE A 5.0 IN A 95GT AND I HAVE A DEAD CYLINDER ITS GETTING SPARK AND GAS AND THE TIMING IS AT 12DEG. IM THINKING A ROCKER ARM PROB. BUT THE CAR DOESNT TICK AT ALL, AND IT MISSES ALL THROUGHOUT THE RPM RANGE, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT THIS COULD BE. THANKS

How do you know you're getting fuel? An engine needs air, fuel, spark, timing, and compression.

If you know you're getting fuel, then you also have to be getting air. If you have spark, and the rest of your timing is okay, chances are real good your timing on that cylinder is correct. That leaves one thing left. Compression. Do a compression test and find out where it's at.
