Dead Cylinders

69 Charger 440 with electronic ignition conversion. I had a miss and pulled each plug wire at the cap and had no change in idle on cylinders 1,4,6 and 7. Carb was just rebuilt. ??

That's a lot of dead cylinders. Before jumping to the carb, I would check the plugs and wires and make sure the firing order and timing is correct. While you have the plugs out, do a compression check on all of the cylinders.

All that checks out. Has to be the carb. Only thing that was touched. And since its cylinders 1,4,6 and 7, that's one half of the carb. F*&% have to pull apart the carb again!

Do you have spark at every cylinder?
is the bottom of the distributor cap clean and dry?
is there fuel flow in the carb in each venturi?
