funky #1 cyl
when I use my timing strobe light and attach it to the #1 spark wire it runs fine but when I rev the motor after the revs peak and are coming back to idle the #1 spark plug "skips" and does not fire half the time . when it gets back to idle it is normal again but it is after I let off the gat that it skips. help please!!!!

If the spark plug isn't grounding to the head at higher rpms, I suppose the wire wouldn't have a complete circuit and therefore the signal may not go through.
The cap or points does seem more likely to cause the problem though.

I was having a sorta similar problem with #2&3 on my car. The plug would spark but the cylinders were not always working. Problem was my injectors were not always opening. The little electrical plug that turns the injectors on and off was corroded and were not working, so i put on new ones and that fixed the problem. you may want to check those.
