Try taking a plug cap off one at a time and see if it makes any difference. If taking one off and nothing changes, that one's not firing... Try earthing a spare plug in the cap taken off to see if it's sparking. New sparks, does that include leads, distributor cap and rotor arm? Only spark plugs, I...

On the dissy cap the post at about 4pm goes to no 1 cylinder.
