cylinder missing
so my '96 ss is still missing. i went up to the shop to have him put a scanner on it and it showed that cylinder 2 and cylinder 7 was missing.. well actually 7 was pretty much dead. . i had edelbrock shorty headers put on the same time i put on msd 8.5 plug wires. could it be that the wires just got fried from the heat from the headers and have to get new wires on w/ some therma sleeves on them so they don't get so hot? and u can also here the ticking or arcing sound from the #7 plug. and he walso told me that the reason i might be gettin all therse oil leaks is because of oil build up in the throtle body. i guess coming up through the resonator hose? would that be a cause of them? thanks 4 the help.

RE: cylinder missing
Have you checked the fuel pressure and pressure regulator? How are the injectors? Have you verified that they all are firing?
Also, try the old trick of running the engine at night in the dark and looking for spark flashovers in the engine compartment.
