62, if you've verified you get spark across the #1 plug gap while cranking, that means you have to change the engine...LOL
seriously, if you do havea healthy spark all the way to the PLUG GAP, either it isn't getting fuel (but how if it builds compression - not likely), the spark is off time (rotor?) or it is not firing under compression pressure maybe? Try another distributor cap and rotor, easy and cheap to eliminate those two...that's a wierd problem!
