You can buy a cheap spark tester at any auto parts store that connects either between the wire and plug or wire and coil/distributor. It is an in line connection with an enclosed bulb that will flash if you have spark. If you don't want to buy one you can remove the spark plug, replace the wire to it, then leave the connected spark plug near some exposed non-painted metal (like your exhaust manifold) and crank the engine. You will see a spark at the tip if you have it. You will need a second person to crank while you watch the plug.
