Sorry but I have another issue

Hey guys... I'm gonna make this long story short.. hard pull in a BP 12a (msd6al with FC leading coil firing the trailing I didn't wire it but I am gonna figure it out) and I missed a gear and waaaay over revved and to describe the sound the motor makes...(I have a dhla 48 on a sidedraft manifold) It sounds like air is blowing back through the Carb from the front rotor. So I removed the leading plugs one at a time and unplugged the wires and I heard the 3 chugs from both rotors... could the front rotor not be firing? What do you guys think is the issue? And how do you guys think I can get my baby running right again?

Also here's a link that shows my motor:

Do you have spark coming out of both spark plugs??? I hate to say it but I checked out a car about a month ago with the same problem. Check the compression and nothing. Opened the engine and found it still had one apex seal left in tact.not saying this is your problem but if you check and you have spark I would do a compression check if I were you.

What did the plugs look like on the front rotor? Wet? If so, you're lacking compression required to fire the front, which would lead me to believe you're missing one or more seals: apex, side, uncertain. Hope for the best,

You don't need to rent a compression tester. There $23 from Harbor Freight. Get the 20% coupon from their site and get it cheaper. You can also borrow them from many auto parts stores with a deposit.
