Pull the distributor cap off and check for corrosion and wear. Also check that the rotor button is good and that the screw that holds it on hasn't backed off.

You know which cylinder is misfiring? Try pulling a single plug wire at a time to find the one that you see no change, and go from there.

i know that it sounds stupid, but make sure the firing order is correct. if you have 2 flippid it will still run, just miss very badly

also make sure your engine grounds are all clean, your motor cannot ground the rubber mounts.

then after that, yes starting taking off plug wires one by one
