Exclamation dropped cyliders?

hey everyone, i just recently got an 88 f150 for basically free and im trying to fix it up to use it. the problem is that the motor (inline 6) seems to be running on only 4 or 5 cylinders. the compression is good on all 6 and the oil pressure seems to be a little low but i cant really tell because the dash gauges suck. i know it could be a million things but does anyone have any ideas were i can start to look?

Plugs, rotor, distributor cap, plug wires. Check for loose bolts on intake and exhaust manifold.
