Resistance Wire to Coil

[Supergas990]

The car cranks, but will not start, so I can't test voltage when running. We have fuel, but no spark. I won't be able to put a meter on the coil until Saturday (car is 4 hours from me), but I want to have all my parts ready for the repair.

I think that I can check the voltage at the + terminal of the coil with the key in the on position and it should be about 9V. Right?

I can't come up with anything other than the coil for a lack of spark. I've had Unilites in my cars for years without problems, but you're correct... They can fail and leave you stranded.
