Funny you should mention this.  My '85 started running badly a while
back.  I had replaced the sparkplug wires about a year before with "Good
as OEM" types from a list vendor.  I found that the connector, which
goes over #4 plug, was badly corroded ... AND ... the wire for #2 was
corroded internally where it connects to the connector at the
distributor.  I put my old wires back on those two (keeping the other
old wires as spares) and all has been well since.
