Default 88 GT down 3 cylinders

Hey I'm new to the forum. I just bought an 88 GT about 2 weeks ago with cylinders 3,4 and 5 not firing and I can't figure it out. It has compression, fuel and spark. I replaced the injectors, plugs, cap, rotor, ignition control module and the coil and still no luck. I pulled the valve covers and spun the crank to check the valves and they all looked good. I even pulled the pushrods and they're straight. I reset my distributor when it was at top dead center and still no luck. The only thing I can think of is one of the PO hacked the speed density system up a bit so I know it won't be happy but I would think it should still fire all 8. I plan to convert to MAF but I would like to at least get the engine to run before I start to dump more money into it. Any ideas as to what it could be? Thanks, Mitch

Welcome to the forum, but this thread might be better off in the Tech section because it could get lengthy. Start a new thread there and we'll help you out. This section is just for intros.
