i believe the part is called the Ignitor. I had to replace mine about a year ago.

Take the plug wires off and remove the 3-4 screws (#5) holding the black plastic distributor cap on...then there is a rotor the holds down a plastic looking cover (#9), take a screw driver and pry (GENTLY) it off. The remove the 2 brass screws (#20) holding the ignition coil in the dizzy cap.

Unscrew the 2 wires leading to the coil (#18 and 13) and pull out your ignition coil (#16). To test to see if the coil is good/bad get out a voltometer and I don't remember the resistance but check between the positive and negative posts (where the 2 screws went) and also between the positive and the coil.

That is the best way to describe it. If you look in your chiltons it will also give you a step by step along with ohm readings
