If you're concerned about fuel, pull the #3 & #4 plugs after cranking with 
wires disconnected and see if they are wet.
I'd probably hook up an inductive timing light to the offending wires and 
see if I get a flash, then if not I would check the contacts in the cap to 
verify contact, rotor, and compare resistance reading of offending wires 
with good wires.  Also double check points for correct operation.
Good luck.
