Quote: FWIW if you hook up a test light to the negative side of the coil (the side oppasite the 12v hookup) the light should pulse when you crank the engine, typically you can watch the light while cranking the engine with the key so you don't have to track down any help... If it doesn't pulse there won't be a spark... If it does pulse & theres no spark put a coil on it...
just re-read this...how do I hook up the test light?
coil installed as normal, put the positive of the light to the negative of the coil, and ground the light to the frame? or unhook the coil and put the light in place of the coil?
