Are you sure there's no spark only on that cylinder?
Check the points gap too.
Try it on different dist cam lobes, see if it changes.
If the distributor is worn and the shaft wobbles it could be worse on that
one cylinder perhaps.
I solved my worn distributor by installing the crane/Allison solid state
system. 
Let us know!

Hi Clark,

Already replaced the sparkplugs, no change.  As I was typing my email this
morning I thought about the distributor cap and rotor.  I have checked the
cap, but I think I will change it and the rotor with the ones that were
taken off this spring.

Thanks,

Mark
