Probably not the oil fouling problem, but a leaking or cracked intake will make one cylinder run crappy.

Funny you should ask... The manifold gasket I thought had it all buttoned up is leaking bad on #4 exhaust... Could easily be leaking on #4 intake. Just received new copper manifold gaskets with 'sleeves' installed at exhaust ports. Is there a 'goop' that would make up for irregularities? I have used remflex manifold gaskets (look it up) on various makes over the years. Solid graphite, compressible, fill the gaps. Do they make a model A mani gasket? And yes I have swapped plugs til the cows came home.... Then raided my vintage spark plug collection. Tried an edison, a splitdorf and a lincoln to no avail.
