Access to electrical distributor is quite easy if you move upper air assembly (the "air/fuel assembly"?) up and forward a couple of inches. Is only held on by two brackets near the fuel distributor and one bolt between the throttle plates. Even with my PRV's formed steel fuel lines, removal was 15 minute procedure. Watch the O rings where air assembly joins U pipes. I recommend leaving connecting rod attached at throtle plates and taking loose at the spool (much easier access to retaining clip). I'd be leery to disturb seal between fuel distributor and the air assembly. Could create a MAJOR vacuum leak. While everything was loose I further increased access by relocating idle speed motor. Makes timing the thing a snap. Spark plug 4 is much more accessible too. Re: 5 cylinders -- I'd suspect spark more than fuel. Have you identified the dead cylinder? Make sure wire is seated all the way. Pull the plug to analyze what's going on inside (if plug itself isn't damaged it could be fouled with soot, oil, or encrustation: 3 different problems elsewhere in engine). Swap plugs to see if misfire moves to new cylinder. You can't really swap wires until you get access to distributor, at which time you'll be replacing them all anyway!
