firing problems

Hi guys I have a 68 ranchero. It runs real sluggish, so I checked the firing order. I have a 302 and the firing order is correct 15426378. When i took the wires off the distributor cap i noticed that 4 cylinders dont fire. Number 1,5,6,8 how can I get all 8 to fire? Thanks

sounds like you either have a vac leak or the carb is stopped up on one side.
