If it's on the Corvette, check your grounding.

Checked the # 2 wire with an ohm meter, and compare with others? Not likely you got two bad ones, but possible.
Next step is kind of a pain, but assuming you have put an ohm meter on the two (2) plug wires you have tried, and they both show good, next step is to pull the distributor, put it in 180 out. Rotate all the wires 180. Start it up. If #3 now has a weak spark, you have pinpointed the distributor as the issue. If #2 still has weak spark, you have eliminated the distributor as the issue. Not likely the coil if it only affects one cylinder. If you don't have a spare distributor laying around, I would be glad to send you a functioning one (won't be curved exactly right for your car, but will at least let you know if it is the distributor.

Have you replaced your spark plugs...not uncommon to have a plug or two go bad.

Ok. It was the distributor. I dropped in my old Unilite and it ran great. I have a thought as to what is wrong with it but I will wait until it is looked at. Sending it back to be checked out.

Also when it was being rebuilt it most likely would have been found.

If one lobe is worn it would show a late spark on that lobe.
