Well, I replaced the cap, points, and rotor, and it runs better. However, it still has a definite miss. It occurs at the exact same time each time it occurs, and is not random. It appears to occur every cycle. It results in a sound like the engine is galloping. It is also accompanied by a small puff of smoke. I tried Janicholson's advice and switched 1 and 4 plug wires.

I am guessing the problem must be with cylinders 1 and 4 because when the two cylinders' sparks were reversed, it had less effect on the running of the engine than when 2 and 3 were reversed. Maybe a shorted plug? It's odd though, because it looks as though they are all firing. None appear wet.
