i think you can stick a screwdriver down into one of your spark plug wires and get someone to try to crank over the engine and if you see little sparks down in the plug wire then it means you are getting spark from that wire.

take out a spark plug wire....take out a spark plug...

plug the spark plug back into the wire you just took out..

get a heavy glove or something...have a friend or you hold the wire and plug near a good ground....

crank the engine..

watch for spark...
