As I understand what you are saying you didn't do anything before it started running badly. I would try switching the condenser (you should carry an extra under the seat anyway, if you don't have one buy one). When you buy the condenser get the best one from a place like Bratton's or A&L. Are you trying to say #1 gets no spark and #2, #3 and #4 get spark? It should run on 3 cylinders, but not very well. As far as the distributor caps go, there is some real junk out there in the repro world.
