Generally assume it's the coil as that device runs hot and at very high voltages. Take a small 12V DC light, solder some wires to it. Connect one lead of the lamp to the coil low voltage lead going to the coil. Connect the other side to ground and crank the engine. If the lamp flickers or flashes it's a bad coil. If the lamp stays on put the ungrounded lead on the other low voltage post and re-test. If it flashes then its the coil, still no flash at crank and it's the pickup.
