I never heard back from GP and after reading a lot of stuff on coil leads
in various forums and websites I discovered that at least two makers of
coil ignition leads have a product that has very low resistance, 40-50
Ohms, yet still block radio frequency interference and electromagnetic
interference (RFI and EMI).  So they say.  It's worth a try.  The two I
found are from MSD and Taylor.  I ordered the ones from Taylor, their
universal four lead set along with a crimping tool.  They are 8.2 mm and
are advertised as 40 Ohm's per foot.  With the tool it came to $65 with
free shipping.  eBay.  

My current old Taylor leads have a lot of resistance.  More than when
they were new.  So I may not have coils getting weaker but rather I just
may have leads that have broken down internally so badly that they can't
get the voltage to the spark plugs (at least on that one cylinder that's
missing on the secondary system).  I'll report back after I receive them
and get them put on.    

I also ordered some new leads for the car thanks to a Netter mentioning
that car leads wear out too.  Nothing fancy, just A.C. Delco for my old
Oldsmobile.  The ones for the plane though are pretty sophisticated if
they do indeed block rfi/emi yet have so little resistance between coil
and spark plug.  These high-tech Taylor leads are called ThunderVolt.
