Subject: What causes a dead cylinder?


I have found another nice car locally (read that near Augusta, GA., where I currently reside), 1966 Corvair Corsa, 140/4, fresh paint, new tires, new weather strips, fuzzies, carbs rebuilt,  compression checks on all cylinders good, just one problem, number 1 cylinder is skipping, took the plug wire off while running, didn't make a difference in the way the engine ran.  Any suggestions? Even if I don't end up buying the car, would like to help the gentleman that currently owns it out!
