Its been a while since I have posted on here so I just want to say hi first off.
Now to my problem. I have recently had my 302 rebuilt on a 1983 GLX (actually I went through most of the car). Anyway the car had a miss in it and it turned out that the number 8 cylinder was not firing. I put in a new cam and the wires/plugs/cap and rotor are new. The bearings in the distributor looked fine and as this was a budget rebuild was not replaced.
I have everything hook back up and the number 8 is still not firing. I changed the plugs around to try it out and still didnt fire. Changed the wires, didnt fire. I replaced the coil and its getting spark.
My only guess is that with the new cam the firing order might be different? But the other 7 cylinders are fine. I am at a lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the 10 pin plugs on the back of the TB They had a recall, not sure but I think thats what they had an effect on. Also did you check for spark @ the top of dizzy for #8?
I am running a carb, so theres no TB. The car seems to be in time also. My only other guess is the ignition control box. Any other thoughts?

I just rebuilt the engine. The compression is fine and I double checked with summit it is the stock firing order and in any case they both end with 8.

Ok, fixed it, the timing was seriously mess up. I mean like the wrong firing order and 180 degrees off on the distributor. I have no clue how it was even running. Oh well, thanks for your help guys.
