Is there a plug missing from the intake manifold? One towards the front that sucked air throught the dual diaphragm fuel pump to power the wipers? Next stick a piece of fuel line in your ear as a stethoscope and hold it up to the intake runner that goes to 1&2, gasket may be bad. Or squirt motor oil around it, leaker will rev up. Otherwise, crank it with only one plug out at a time, and listen for a whistling/farting noise from either 1 or 2, the most likely thing in common is the thin spot on the head gasket between each siamesed pair of cylinders.
