[Roadsters] First try at startup fails .

To bypass the coil, just run a line from the battery directly to the 
coil.  That's fine for running the car in the garage, just make sure you 
can yank it off easily to shut the car down if there's a problem...

I have followed the instructions  from the 311s.org Start-up after sitting for a long time, except for the brakes (that's what caused it to be parked in the first place).It turns over just fine but does not start. It seems to be getting gas but no spark. I checked for power to the coil and there is none when the key is turned on. I am guessing I will need a new ignition switch. Is there an easy test for the switch. Is there any safe way to start the car bypassing the ignition switch. Is there a way to test the coil?
