My 360 is misfiring ? The plugs, wires,distributor,and rotor have been changed. I'm getting codes 300,303,305. cylinders 3&5

perform compression test first, if good clean/flush injectors, replace intake and plenum gaskets and bolts.

what did the plugs, wires, and cap look like when you changed them?? did you have the codes cleared when you put all this stuff on there and then try driving it again??

I've done this for a while, lots of tune ups and basic maintenance. I just put new plugs and wires on my 1996 1500 w/a 360and had the 5-7 wires backwards. That distributor is way back there and it was all "by feel", and the 5-7 on the rotor is side-by-side and closest to the block. I ended up wiggling each wire from the rotor and having a co-worker watch where it went, and sure enough I had them backwards.
