so its not getting spark on just number 3. try a different wire, take off the distributor cap and look at the peg for the number 3 wire. i wouldnt run it to much aside from just to trouble shoot.

atom's law doesn't like your number 2 and 3 spark plug wires. i think oem are around 20 bucks a piece.

the stem's could have been separated.

^^Agreed...
You spend all that money building a motor up, the least you can do is maintain the ignition system.
Do you change your oil???? hehe just kidding...
