I'm asking this for a friend that is a member but has no computer. This is his problem. When he starts his car and it is idling there is a slight pop. Unhooked #1 plug wire made no difference, unhooked #2 no difference,unhooked #3 made big difference run like crap At idle. if rpm is raised ,all plug wires attached it smooths out. on a drive it seems to have no power lose. compression on all six cylinders is in the 90's. The ign system has everything new, No water in the oil. this engine does have duel carbs but they have been on for years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It is not common with copper high tension leads but check for continuity especially on #1 & 2 or you may have spark plugs on the way out or distributor cap crack.
