Hi Build,

"I understand what you're saying about more energy for the next spark, but why does pulling #1 or #2 instantly kill the engine? And #1 and #2 plugs look ok"

Yes this is weird. In normal situation when you pull #1 or #2 out the engine should still be running. Subsequent sparks from #2 #3 and #4 should sustain running the engine.

My thought is (when you pull out #1 for example) the remaining spark energy channeled to #2 #3 and #4 not enough (in your case) to sustain engine running. So naturally I'd lay blame on the plugs, plug cables, rotor, distributor and lastly ignition coil causing weak sparks.

There are known cases of faulty ignition coil when hot. It causes misfire at certain RPM but in your case, misfire happens at all RPMs. Less likely to be ignition coil.
