try adjusting your air to fuel ratio (if carberated)
If the engine is fuel injected, remove all the injectors and have them individually flow checked to insure they all flow the same quantity of fuel. If you are running a single fuel line, try a �Y� piece and feed both fuel rails from the rear and have the front of the fuel rails as the return both merging into a dual entry fuel pressure reg. This will help dampen fuel pressure fluctuations within the rails due to the firing order. It would be worth running two oxygen sensors on each banks collector to verify the difference in A/F ratios as well as 8 individual pyros in each runner to verify fuel mixtures.
if you don't check the ring cap at the end of the rings in the cylinder before you put them on the piston they could be to long i have been working on Chevy's for over 40 years and i just saw this on one engine just last year it cost a friend of mine 3 sets of pistons and all the work and gaskets before he found the problem. and it was on the right side also

350 Chevy not running on all cylinders?
Start by testing the compression. It should be consistent within a few PSI on each cylinder. Any cylinders that have little or no compression probably have a burned valve. If all cylinders are up, check the plugs, wiring and distributor.
Have a 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic with a 5.0 Liter LG4 engine. I think it could be a 307 because the timing says to set it at 20 degrees BTDC and the Hayes manual lists 20 deg. as the set for 85 307?
307 Chevrolet was phased out in 1973. There was 307 cubic inch Oldsmobile V8, but that motor was not offered in the Caprice. You have a 305 if it's a gas-burning V8. The only other engines offered for that year were the base V6 and the diesel-burning 350. this above answer is wrong. the caprice did indeed use a 307 in the 80s.

307 pistons are 3.875" diameter. 305 pistons are 3.736". It might be possible to bore a 305 large enough to accept the 307 pistons, but the wrist pin location would be .230" off because of the different stroke. In short, no.
