Just replace the injector, if that cylinder's not getting fuel.
Any injectors you've removed need the lower o-rings replaced, and when you install the new ones lube them really well with lots of vaseline/petrolium jelly/dielectric, (not silicone, it needs to be petrolium based so the gas will wash out the extra - but move fast, so it doesn't dissolve the lube before it gets seated) so they slide in without tearing or catching, and seat properly.
Also, you know the firing order is 1342, right?

Yeah I got the firing order right. I had it accidentally 1432, the only problem I am having is it was able to start up just fine previous. I set the timing to TDC and the distributor to the same. I should have an injector here pretty quick and the battery is good and has been charged over night. I re-used the lower o-rings for the time being, I used some dyno oil on them to lube them up a for a nice seal. The reason I'd like it running right now on at least 3 cylinders is to move it as it was inside a garage, but had to be pushed out for other vehicle movement and it's sitting in the snow right now. Think a decent push start could get her running enough to move her where I need it to be? I am by no means a mechanic, but I have been going by the FSM and if I can't get it started up I'll have to have my local mechanic come give me some help. He is pretty chill.
