Jim, et Listers,
Which cylinder would get most of the oil depends on the intake manifold
design. But, not even knowing the layout, it would be surprising to me if
oil coming in at the rear of your carburetor base distributor were evenly
distributed to all the cylinders. Even getting a uniform air/fuel mixture
to all the cylinders is hard to do. That's why it's better to run a little
rich overall, to account for these variations and avoid burning exhaust valves.
Keep us informed with the diagnosis.
TTFN,
Bob
