Ken---You don't leave much else to be looked at, if all these parts are
new. Did you change them because of the misfires, or did this show up
after? How did you determine that these two cylinders are not firing?
I would first, because it's easiest, reset the points gap about .003
wider or looser than the gap yuu now have. If the first choice here
doesn't change things or makes it worse, then go the other way. One of
these moves could counteract the points not breaking at a particular
phase, due to wear in the shaft bushings. (it's a long shot)
Put the inductive pickup light on the two plug wires you say are not
firing. Does the light still fire? If so, then voltage is coming down
the wire(s) and the points and wires should be OK.
Write back if none of the above corrects, or make the problem show up.
(I have some other ideas that would make this reply too long)

Having mucho distributor woes on my very stock '73.5 TR6. Running on
4-cylinders constantly.
After replacing the points, condenser, cap, rotor and plug wires, I
still maintain a constant no-fire in #1 and #5 cylinders (from front to
rear). Compression test is well over 100#'s in each of the cylinders.
Carbs are set correctly and the plugs that are firing properly show no
fouling or lean burning.
At a loss for clues to what is causing this major malfunction.
Any suggestions that a weekend mechanic can attempt to resolve this
aggravating situation? Any advice is always appreciated.
