78 VW bug miss

working on a friends VW bug.
new coil
new (i think) permatune dist. anyway,its not points
swapped plug wires
sawpped plugs
new cap
new rotor

it has a miss ONLY on number 1.
you can see it with the timing light.
the light fails to flash when it misses.

not sure how an electronic dist like this one could miss ONLY on #1.

pulled the plug. it was very white like a plug that was too hot.
pulled #2 and it was grey/black more like it should be.

compression, valves or anything like that would not effect the plug firing.
