You have tracked down the miss to the assembly you swapped that made the
miss "move": the section of the fuel system from where the distributor
separates the individual cylinder flows, to the tip of the injector.

I do not know what the inside of a fuel distributor looks like, to
specualte on how easy it would be clog or damage one cylinders feed
section, but it would seem a lot easier to carefully take that fuel
line, remove the injector from it, clean the line, and reinstall with a
different injector (from any source, new or used, ideally "known good,"
of course).

See what that does, you may just have a bad injector.  Could be a good
time for a new set anyway, they don't last forever.
