    is it a carb or injection engine? probe the spare terminal at the coil with the 2 black wires to it, if its original it'll have a blank spade terminal on it to avoid chance of shorting. if its aftermarket there may only be 2 terminals, if so probe the metal between them or just remove the black wires and probe them both, one of them should have ignition live from the fusebox.
