Blown head gaskets are one of the most frequent causes of misfiring in adjoining cylinders....do a compression check; check for oil in your coolant and/or coolant in your oil.
But, it could be a number of other things as well.
(Not necessarily in declining order of likelihood..... )
1. Burnt Valves (as above, do a compression check)
2. Old, worn out, shorting out distributor wiring harness (replace it anyway if it's old)
3. Starving for fuel (check fuel pump/filter)
See your friendly, local mechanic!
Good luck.
