Yup, a bad wire or boot would explain it. Do you have any spare ignition wires? If not, then pick one of the other wires and swap it for the #5 wire. If the problem follows the wire to the next cylinder, then you have found it. Also look inside the distributor cap very carefully. Look for any "carbon tracks" or cracks or something else that might prevent firing on #5.
If the wires look ratty or original, it's probably time to change them all anyway.
