Best way to test coil?
The one buck truck no starty no more; just turns and turns. I figrd it needed new plugs and wires anyway so I went and did that. No difference. I'mma wonder'n if it's the coil that went bye bye. So, what's the preferred safe way to test that? And for that matter, since I don't have a spark plug tester thing, what's the best way to safely test if there's spark at the plugs?

Old plug in the wire, grounded to block/bracket. Or a screwdriver in the wire end. Hold the screwdriver about 1/4 inch off the block/bracket and see if it sparks. It will take two people though. I am at Frankie's and was planning on dropping off the video card. I'll give you a call.

I was thinking it would be an interesting experiment. I'll turn the key. Since Shaolin mentioned the idea, I nominate him for tounge duty.

Yeah, but your like what early twenties and have no ability to feel left. I regard this as non-desirable.

I see it as I have done the painstaking work of deadening myself already, this would be a good start for you 
Or you could run your hands through hot sand
or spend the $3 on the spark plug tester thingamahbob |

Tape over the connections with duct tape. Then stick the probes of a multi-meter through the tape in such a way that the tape will hold the probe on the contact. Set the monitor on voltage mode and crank the car. I would make sure you know that the expected voltage should be first.
