If your wire is OK, I'd say check inside your dist. cap for a crack (or you may at least see a trace of carbon) near the No. 4 position. Your juice may be taking a little shortcut to somewhere else in there, instead of going all that way out the wire to the No. 4 plug. Electrical currents are lazy like that.

The original spark plug gap is 0.025". Many of us use 0.040" gap. What happens when you switch plugs between cylinders? Is is possible that the plug is misfiring? Or that the plug is not grounding in the # 4 cylinder threads? Plugs need to be grounded to fire correctly.
