I bought a 1994 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L V8 knowing it has a blown had gasket and smokes like a chimney. I put some stop leak in the coolant resolver and that helped tremendously. I will be replacing it soon but its a temporary fix for now. The real problem is its missing when its idling, when its over 3000 rpm's it stops with the missing issue, I also replaced the spark plugs. The exhaust smells rich and one of the spark plugs is wet and having a gas smell to it when I pull it out. I think its cylinder six with that wet plug issue. I thought it might be a stuck open fule injector. Do you have any ideas on what the issue may be?

When you have a blown head gasket water is getting into the combustion chamber so that could be the cylinder that's leaking and water doesn't burn. Check to make sure you have spark in that cylinder if you do then check compression.
