88 80q Distributer Update

OK, check the positive side of the coil. It should have 12V when the key is
on AND while cranking. Then check the Neg Side for "Switching". A test light
should flash while cranking. If not, you either have a bad Ignition control
unit, a bad Hall Sender, or a bad connection somewhere. If you are getting
flashing, you probably have a bad coil.

I have positioned (for sure) the cam to #1 TDC. I have inserted the 
distributer with the shaft key aligned to the mark on the out rotating
housing. I 
replaced the rotor and cap. All wires are in good working order and
connected. NO 
START.

I remove the #1 spark plug, plug it into the wire and ground the bottom of 
the plug and have some one turn over the car . NO SPARK.

Where do I go from here? How can I test the coil ?
