I have a 1985 Bronco II with a carburated V6 engine. One cylinder (I believe it's the 6th. Driver side front) is not fiiring. I have replaced the distributer cap & wires and checked for spark and firing order, and it is getting spark. I've yet to check compression but there's seems to be some just from turning it over w/out the spark plug installed.
Before I put a bunch o' dough into it (it's really just a beater truck) is there a backyard remedy that is worth trying?
Thanks

Need to verify how much compression compared to the others. Get a gauge and test it, might have 30lbs when others have 110lbs. D/s front on a Ford is #4 for a v-6
