SA22C 12A Possible rear rotor has no combustion?

Hi folks. Been trying to resolve several issues with the car recently. SCCA Improved Touring A 12A stock port with modified Nikki carb and dual MSD 6AL ignition. Had major flooding issues with the Nikki carb which I was able to track down to a sliver of teflon tape that was jammed in one of the float needle seats. I had foolishly used teflon tape when I redid the entire fuel system (new Holley Fuel Pump, 2 fuel filters, Holley Pressure regulator with bypass and new stainless steel braided supply and return hoses) but have since gotten rid of any traces and used joint compound instead. Anyway the carb flooded badly several days ago but I've since managed to get the car running again. I've also replaced the plugs and installed new plug wires. Car runs poorly under load and hesitate during a short 15 min test drive around the block.. When I pulled the new plugs out, the front leading and trailing plugs looked good and were obviously firing. The rear leading and trailing plugs looked spotless and clean with a slight smell of gas on them but they didn't look like they were even firing. For the record, the car was running well before the entire teflon tape sliver/carb flooding fiasco. Could the rear rotor seals be buggered up and stuck from the flooding? Any ideas? I need to get the car running as I am supposed to be attending driver's school in three weeks. Thanks for any help.
