THE PILOT SAID THAT AT 6000 FEET MSL THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MISS AND GOT WORSE. HE TRIED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION BUT COULD NOT. HE REQUESTED AND WAS GIVEN VECTORS TO THE PRINCETON ARPT. THE ARPT WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME DUE TO SNOW COVERED RUTS ON THE RNWY AND THE RNWY LIGHTS WERE OUT. HE WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE RNWY AND A LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN A OPEN AREA ON THE ARPT. THE ACFT RAN INTO THE EMBANKMENT DURING LANDING ROLL. POST-ACCIDENT EXAM REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT MAGNETO WOULD NOT BENCH CHECK SATISFACTORILY. THE SPARK PLUG CENTER ELECTRODES WERE BURNED DOWN ALMOST TO THE PORCLAIN.
