This info makes me think more than ever the carb is failing to feed the 2 middle cyl's on the driver's side or the 2 end cyl's on the passenger's side. I'd bet the intake runners feeding 2,3,5,& 8 come from the same side of the carb. It takes 3 things for a cyl to fire: compression, spark, and fuel. 2 of the 3 have been verified.
HTH,
