[FWDLK] '59 Chrysler ignition problem

[N/B Nichols <3nichols@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Was wondering if anyone has had the following problem before.  The car
is a '59 Chyrsler Windsor with a 383 engine.  It has excellent
compression:  165 to 170 in every cylinder, however one cylinder is 145.
  The car has a rough idle.  When I short spark plug wires number 1,4,6
and 7 there is hardly any change in the idle.  That is every other
cylinder in the firing order which is 18436572.  Spark plugs are new and
so are the wires.  Carb is rebuilt.   Any thoughts?  Any info greatly
appreciated,   Nick Nichols
