I have not verified the brand of the condensors yet. I can look at them closely and see if I can find a brand, I have heard of some of the brands on here that are junk.
I can measure the capacitance also of each one and compare it to that of the service manual, that could tell me something, or like you said just swap them.
I understand the focus on fuel, thats where I originally started, before I messed with any clip settings, I thought I should get all 4 cylinders firing consistently at idle first, which is why I am hesitant to check out the clip settings now. I am not really trying to re-jet them, that was just a last second question in case anybody else thought that would be an issue with stock idle jets. As far as idle jets being clogged I have cleaned them and even swapped jets from each carb, so I think it is safe to say that the idle jet itsself is not culprit, but that doesn't rule out the entire carb setup.
It looks like the only things I need to perform to fully complete the 3k mile maintenance would be:
Check/adjust ignition timing
Adjust valve clearance
Contact breaker point gap
Everything else has been done, except suspension related and steering head bearing inspection.
I can verify these three things in the next day or two.
Fly, your suggestion for the tape sounds like a great idea. I will try that shortly, along with checking/swapping condensers first.
Just to re confirm, the firing of #2 seems either intermittent, or it is much less powerful than cylinders #1 and #4. At a smooth idle around 1200 rpm, I can pull plug wires 1 at a time and the results are:
#1: Engine stalls instantly
#2: Engine doesn't change or sometimes has a very slight idle drop
#3: Slight idle drop, engine still runs well
#4: Engine stall instantly
It could be firing, but much less powerful or effective than the rest
