Check the compression and see if the cylender is getting fuel and air

How do i check if it's getting fuel/air?

Swap the injector from this bad cylender to a good one and the good to a bad, if the misfire moves then you have a bad injector.

The engine is carbureted

Did you check compression? Sorry I'm more knowable on the 4.6 and 5.4. Could the spark just be week? Try changing the problem cyclenders plug with a good cyclenders plug and see if the misfire moves.

ive done changed plugs. What i did was, I unplugged one wire at a time to each cylinder. when i pulled the 6th wire from cylinder 6,,,it didnt change, just kept missing. but the other cylinder would miss when i unplugged wires

Gotcha I'm not sure what else there is to test other than compression and to see if #6 is getting fuel and air. Does your exhaust smell any differnt?
