Hey guys I've recently dropped a cylinder in my EFI 1600 in my fasty.
I was driving on a very hot day and all of a sudden it lost all power and torque. Under basic examination ive found its only running on 3 cylinders now (removing plugs from dizzy, one doesn't make a difference when off!)
Ive got spark at both ends so its not a spark issue, what potentially could i have wrong here? Valve problems? I'm pretty new to dubs and still new to engines in general so if anyone can give me some advice so i could see where I'm headed it would help alot!

yeah pop off the rocker covers and check your valves' clearance and make sure they are all opening and closing - you may have broekn a pushrod or pulled a stud so the rockers can;t push on teh valves properly
If it's EFI, check you're getting power to the injector and/or the injector is working
