Real time ignition help

My 92' 4.9L suddenly seems to have no spark. It died just as pulling in to drive and wouldn't start, opened hood to check for any obvious wires loose, got in and it started right up. Shut it off and started it couple times fine. Came back little later and no start, turns over fine and seems to be getting fuel.

It seems to have no spark. Is the coil the likely problem? Is there a way I can test it? What else should I check?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated, it's my only vehicle currently, so really need her back on the road. :-)

Cheers, Allen
