crossfiring/missing?

a few days ago my 92 f150 351w started missing real bad, at a slight acceleration. since i have true duals exiting out the sides i can hear it mostly from the right exhaust pipe. does that mean the miss is from one of the 4 right cylinders? my stepdad told me it sounds like my truck is cross firing so tomorrow im putting new wires, distributor cap and rotor on it. if that doesnt fix the problem what else should i check? its more of an embarassment because all you hear is a giant clicking coming from the exhaust. thanks

look under the hood at night, you'll be able to see the spark jump if it is doing that.
