Try swapping the plug wire to 8 and see if the misfire follows

could be a damaged/worn terminal on the cap or in the cap.

People love to hate this distributor but reality is that like any other distributor the cap and rotor are WEAR ITEMS as in tuneup parts. When the cap gets bad as they all will with mileage people around here just love to curse the whole distributor instead of getting a clue and understanding the situation.

i tried that and it stays the same. it has the miss from idle and kind of smooths out wen full throttle.
