Need some Help

Hey guys just got out of boot camp and made it down here to FL for my A school.

I need some stuff to get my car back in line so I can drive it around in this nice florda weather! Where to start:

New Clutch and Pressure plate
Resurface Fly
New ignition because my brother F'ed up the other one (where the key goes)
New caliper on the back passanger side (I think)
Plugs,wires,oil change
New distributar cap
Last but not least I need to figure out why number 2 cylinder isn't firing.

on the plus side I can get all the parts and everything for about 350 or so but the labor is what is going to kill me.

Now my Problom im not near my car at all its actully like 6 states away so if anyone happens to have a couple brake calipers laying around for the car that would be great. and if anyone might know what is going on with #2 not firing be great.

facts:
87 3.0 turbo
there is fuel and fire going into the cylinder but im pretty sure nothing is coming out could it be the valves or something along those lines. or should I just till I replace the plugs, cap and wires to find out?

The car started doing this after I changed the valve cover gaskets. I check for vacume leaks eveywhere I could and I've even taken the them back off and tryed to see if anything was wrong. I would hate to have someone rip apart the top end just to put it back together again. Let me know if its something I could of f'ed up or what.

o the car sounds really lopey (like it has a crazy aggressive cam in it)
