Does that mean the rear bowl was full of fuel ?  What about throttle
synchronization ?  

If the plugs were clean (not even wet) in cylinders that were not running at
all (as shown by no change when pulling the wires), I think that means there
was no fuel going through them.  I'd also look at valve clearances (which
incidentally also checks that the valves are going up & down as they
should).
