Follow the wires forward of the coil and you should find it mounted on the fender.

Looks like testing it involves looking for the control from the DME to one of it's pins. "Control" means the DME will usually ground a circuit. The ignition module is an interface between the DME and the high voltage of the coil.

There should be battery level voltage on pin 4 of the module and pin 15 of the coil with the key on. Pin 5 on the module is the control signal.

Proper testing involves using an oscillascope between pin 5 and pin 2 of the module and cranking the car. Note that the cable is connected to the module.

The resistance values for the coil are 1 to 15; 0.4 to 0.6 ohms, 1 to 4; 5 to 7.2 k ohms.
