Check your lead, distributor cap and rotor arm, they would be the first things I would check

Personally I would run silicone, bit more expensive but worth it

but i think they need renewing, got them second hand, and i dont know how old they are..

just need to get number 2 back up and working

To check whether or not it is the lead swap it with one of the other ones that is ok, so if you take lead off number one and then number does'nt fire you know it is the lead at fault, but if there old leads you are better of replacing the complete set even if you have one lead that is faulty as chances are at some point in the future the others will start to give you problems

[scoticus]

Good news..

I now have brakes, just got to make new balance pipes for the front, and bleed the system, thats getting done tomorrow.

I also have 4 firing cylinders, i changed the spark plugs and that solved the problem
