Another way is place a short ht lead into the coil tower, slip some clear tubing over the other end, and leave a half inch gap inside the tubing and connect the coil lead intop thje other end. This way you can start the car and observe the sparks. If the spark stops before the engine comes to a stop, it's coil or ignition related. If the spark is still going as it dies, it's fuel related. If the spark stops, put a test light across the coil, and see if it stops flashing before the engine comes to a stop. If it doesn't, it's the coil. You can also try and put the coil in a oven, then test it for spark.
