To find mouse nests, you might need to remove some stuff and/or poke a wire up between cylinder fins. Snoop around, in other words.

To see if an injectors is spraying all the time, maybe you could pull the injector and place it in a jar with the fuel and electrical lines hooked up to it, run the fuel pump (unplug the fuel pump relay and connect the appropriate terminals), and see if it sprays. I suspect that the injector shoudl be closed at this point and not spraying at all.

I would not necessarily trust a new electrical item, including ignition wires. Probably the #6 wire is fine, but this is not guaranteed. A friend, experienced in mechanical stuff, told me the other day that he has found more 'bad' condensers in the shelf in boxes, than in cars. For example. And if Warren has a comment on this topic I'll appreciate hearing it.

And on that subject...Warren has been 'flamed' before and can take care of himself. I predicted, and was happy to observe, that his reaction is always the same. He walks away...

Your compression and leakdown tests are beautiful and you can quite worrying about internal engine parts. I'd fly an airplane with your engine in it.

Finally, if you have not changed yoru cap and rotor recently, DO THIS NOW.

Injector or ignition wire (or bad terminal in distributor cap). This is where I would surely focus.
