Default cylinder 1 missfire

Hi guys, Yesterday my car start to misfire in cylinder one, first put a new plug, still the same(the other was black), Measure the wire 6.58@ 20kohm's, this looks fine so I replace the coil and nothing. The cap and rotor are brand new OEM one month.

The distributor is new but it's a eBay king special. If I put the plug like half inch from the valve cover bolt the spark is completely orange.

A bad ICM can cause poor spark and affect more the most far plug?

NGK, properly gapped?

Measure the wire 6.58@ 20kohm's, this looks fine
What the reading @ 20 Ohms? How old are the plug wires? If old or non-OEM, then just replace them.

Have you compression tested the cylinders?

^Risky and unreliable way to evaluate spark

Click the spark link in my signature.

Another potential source of the problem.

ok, so I went out and swap the distributor the car still do the same, but when I attach the timing light to set the distributor. I realize that the rpm's in the gun at idle come and goes, if a rev the car a little the rpm's read solid.

This is a bad wire or braking in the distributor?
