That will work but won't always tell you if the coil is bad. Sometimes the coil will give off a weak pulse, not enough to spark the plug but enough to light the timing light. Chased my tail for hours because of that! Best way to check a coil is to check the resistance across the terminals. The haynes book has the procedure and the values.
