Question about a 1987 Buick station wagon with the 5.0 motor

I am getting the 87 Buick Station wagon ready for paint but 1st i have to replace the leaky valve cover gaskets{more junk to pull out of the way just to get to them}.Question.I did a major tune up and i have a very sight miss in the 5.0 motor.It is in the # 1 cylinder.I have good compression in it, i tried switching the spark plug and then the plug wire but when i pull the plug wire off it doesnt seem to run any rougher as it should.I can see the plug wire arching off the motor when i pull it off the spark plug.Thing it could be a valve hanging up from sitting.I was going to try some sea foam or M.M. oil in it.What do you all think?Thanks and have a good weekend! Bruce.

Are the '87 Buick clips the same as the '87 Chevy Caprice clips?  The body and trim look the same so I'm thinking that they are....but really only assuming...Smiley Happy

 

Just throwing this up for info purposes...I did not check out this seller or have any connection to this listing...there were 48 hits for "1987 Caprice body clips"...
