You can test the coil and the ICM (Ignition Control Module), I'm looking at my Haynes service manual and it looks like there are different test for the module depending on if it is mounted on the fender or on the distributor. I picked up a ICM at Auto Zone for $40 and I think the coil is about the same price so you might want to try ordering online should you need one or both of those. Another place that has good prices online is rockauto.com, I have order through them a few times and have only good things to say about them.
