Run the engine of your car in the garage to the point where it shakes, then stop the engine. When you remove all the plugs, any that is dirty or oily is not firing.

I believe the plugs should be taken out with the engine cold, which this method will not permit. Perhaps just disconnecting the ignition wires from the distributor, one at a time, can lead you to the same result of finding out which cylinder is misfiring.
