Default No. 7 cylinder....problems

As some of you have read I just installed Trickflow Street heat kit. I had a miss that felt like a crossed up plug wire, so I pulled plugs and No 7 plug was black. I then diod a cylinder check by pulling plug wires a cylinder at a time and #7 did not change the rpm. Ok now what to do? could I have adjusted the rockers too tight on that cylinder? Bad injector? I am new to EFI engines but getting an on the job education quickly[:@] The plug wire is giving plenty of spark. They are band new MSD along with MSD cap. Should I swap back to stock cap to check it?

Do a compression check to see where you're at along with a leak down test also.

Default RE: No. 7 cylinder....problems..UPDATE

It looks like I found the problem. I pulled the no 7 injector and check for pulse with a noid light and it was getting power and pulse. After that I hooked a hot wire direct to the injector and ground it a few times to see if it clicked or vibrated or any other tricks. Unfortunately it was just like some girls I have picked up in the past and just layed there. So I just ordered a new set from Summit. I am sure glad I "saved" $100 on that used set from Ebay. Any way I hope this fixes it. I will know on Fri.
