I should add that you can use an inductive timing light and clip it on EACH SP 
wire in turn, to verify that there is actually spark flowing to EACH plug. For 
this test you don't need to check the timing of the sparks, just the fact that 
they are occuring for each cylinder.

Check the timing on the # 1 plug wire.
