SVT, how do you know your getting fuel? Try squirting a couple ounces of fuel in the intake and crank it over.

Has anything been changed like where the wires taken off? If the fuel trick doesn't work I would double check the wiring to the correct cylinder and then check a few plugs for spark not just one.

HAHAHAHAH. I was gritting my teeth waiting for someone to say injectors or fuel.

If you've elimanted everything else, why wouldn't you be thinking fuel? I think you know your next step

I guess I forgot to mention I got the car fired... I know I am getting fuel. I kinda know what I am doing . The rockers were just being a little dollar *****. The car is running fine, but these rockers are quite a bit louder than my ProMags. Oh well, they are coming off the car and ProMags are going on. Thanks for your responses guys, but I got it all squared away.

it could be that you tightened down the rockers too much,leaving the valves open @ TDC. Honestly this sounds more like a simple mistake then the rockers being "junk". My friend has the proforms and i have nothin but good things to say about those,quiet as stock even.RedHottG2 you sound like you have no idea what youre talkin about.
Maybe it could be that you have never heard good rockers and so you have nothing to base your opinion on but the proforms . Funny how other members beside's my self would say they are lound in comparison to quality rockers. If I were you I would do a little homework on the matter before assuming I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I had a split set of Proforms for several years on my 93 (1.5s on ex and 1.6s on int) they are still good and in a can, but they are very very cheap looking, on a sidenote I havent gotten anything else from Proform that was worth a crap, I even bough this one carb body , it was brand new and the ends were warped!!!!!

I agree with you man. Those Comp ProMags are some real nice rockers. You can tell the difference in the rockers within seconds of holding the ProMags. Those things are loud, I think it is those rockers, We might just yank them off and put the stockers back on until he gets the Comp Promags...
