Default 44IDF Issue

I've got a dead cylinder #6 on my SBF. I have compression, spark, maybe too much fuel. The spark plug is totally black and nasty but when I put it into a different cylinder, it worked just fine and the defective cylinder still didn't appear to fire. I used an infrared thermometer and the offending header tube remained more than 100° cooler than its neighbors or the cylinders on the other bank. When I was cranking the engine, without spark plugs, to do a compression test, I got a good mist out of the bad hole. Had to have been gasoline but it evaporated immediately since the engine was at operating temperature.

Whaddya all think?
