cycle 1 not getting spark

[reaper6071]

when i to went to get timing the light was not coming on. so i thought it was broke, then i tried the light on another cylinder and it worked fine. so then it hit me that cylinder 1 is not getting any power to it.. so what do y'all think it could be??? so i'm looking over some stuff and the book for the car to find anything i can... so every little bit of help would be nice... yes i'm running a ca18det.

Have you checked the cap or spark plug wire? Sounds like either the spark plug wire has an internal short or the cap is bad.
