I am inclined to think the rotor and hall effect pick-up may have too big a gap, is that a thing? I replaced the inner parts a few years ago and didn't adjust anything.
Haynes mentions a gap of 0.1" between the rotor and pick-up, but shown on a Chrysler distributor and my Bosch doesn't appear to be the same.
Am I even on the right track here?
If I pry the rotor out, will anything be adjustable, like on the Chrysler distributor?
Thanks

where are you testing for the spark it could most likely be the HT lead and not the cap,
also if the other plugs are fine then the hall sensor is working OK because there's one sensor and 4 outputs on the cap and the misfire disappears after a mile or so,
Some options to try
check the spark plug for that cylinder
Clean the rotor arm centre and end contact with fine wet and dry sandpaper
try a different ignition lead
look to see if the cap has a hairline crack
