bad injector?

I just installed a 6a msd box on my 89 bronco with a 302. I was pulling the plugs out to regap them to .050, and noticed that Cylinder #2 was getting carboned up on the porcelin on the center electrode. All the rest were white like they were brand new. I just replaced the plugs and wires a week ago. The same plug was really fouled. I'm thinking that it is a bad injector, or dirty injector. I plan on doing a compression check tonight after I get off work. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

The motor seems to have plenty of power. Just has a slight miss at an idle.
