Well, surely take Dave up on his offer. Some things to check- The dead miss and lack of spark should be first diag as your problem though the weak coil and stronger should be an easy ohm check of the primary and secondary windings in each. I have had dist caps show the same issue so you should swap a new cap and condensors ( or known good ones temp)to eliminate these . Then swap the high tension leads for # 3 and 6 to see if the miss (lack of spark ) moves. If the issue still persists on the same two cyls it almost sounds like worn lobes on the shaft or bent or worn dist shaft with excessive play. This seems to make sense since you said the gap seemed large before readj. I suspect someone was trying to compensate for some worn lobes so to get any opening and spark on those the point gap would be setextemely large over all. It would make sense the that the problem worsened when you set to fact spec. While turning the engine by hand- slowly check the point opening for each lobe(cyl) with close insp for the cyls in question- checking for play/ wobble in the shaft at these positions. Zero spark on 2 cyls should be very easy to diag. The points either open, or they dont.
