dead cylinder - 74 GTV

["Greg Stewart" <gt_veloce@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Decided that perhaps winter was finally over and attempted to de-hibernate 
my 74 GTV.    Car started easily but ran rough.  Pulling off plug wires one 
at a time indicated that cylinder #2 wasn't doing much of anything.

I checked the plug wire and it's fine and has plenty of spark.  Changing to 
a new plug didn't solve anything.

Common sense says if the spark is good, I either have a fuel delivery or a 
compression issue.  Compression I can check easily (will have to borrow a 
gauge tomorrow), but with respect to a possible lack of fuel - any common 
fault modes I should be aware of?

Car has Dellortos with Crane electronic ignition and ran fine last fall.

Thanks in advance,
Greg Stewart
