Will try no expert on the coil pack cars. I assume from your writing no spark on 1 and 4. Do have spark there take old plug ground it to motor pull wire off and check. If have spark done compression test? Also idea large vacumn leak Take vacumn line off and plug intake and try if better find it. Maybe plugged cat drop exhaust down a little is it ok now? If am going wrong way let me know more will check post later and will try to help more if can. If you don't have spark try autozone.com they have test procedure for this car but involves using volt meter. Good luck have fun at prom been 30 years since mine.

Since I am in the middle of fixing a similiar situation, try a compression test. I had the same thing with the number 2 cyl. It turned out to be a bent valve and a blown head gasket. good luck
