Cliff,
No need to look for trouble with gasoline spraying in your engine compartment, yet!
Pull the #5 spark plug wire off the #5 plug and the distributor. Check for end-to-end continuity with a multimeter ... the lead should measure 3000 Ohms or 4000 Ohms, +/- 10%, depending on whether you have a resistor end at the distributor, or not. The Beru connector can also be intermittently open. If the spark plug connector is bad, ity can be unscrewed from the wire and replaced individually.
Since your dead cylinder caused a cold exhaust ... my bet is that you will find a bad #5 Beru connector!
