Achim,
You have new plugs, wires, and good compression and fuel to the cylinder.
That leaves the cap as the fault for lack of an ignition source. Recheck the
firing order just for piece of mind. 153624 Remember the rotor turns
counterclockwise.

Subject: [Healeys] Loss of power after hibernation
Last week I woke up my BJ8 after hibernation and started for a first ride.
After ten minutes I noticed some loss of power and the engine began coughing
and spitting. Back at home I checked the sparks and saw a wet spark on
cylinder 5. Changing the spark didn't help. The next day I changed the spark
plug, started the engine, the same as before. I changed the ignition cable
with no effect. Rough running of the engine.
When I pull of the spark plugs one after the other, there is no change in
speed level on cylinder 5. Compression ratio is good, new spark, new spark
plug, new spark wire. What can I do next?
