How to test the Ignation Coil ?

Hi all

I have this Kia Pride LX 1999 model. It was running fine but with some electrical defect. Yesterday morning I tried to start but it wouldn't. I checked the spark at the HT wire going into distributor with engine cranking - no Spark.

Before I buy the coil or the cutout, I want to make certain which one I need replacing. I do not know whether it is coil or the cut out transistor which is bad. My question is how to test these 2 in isolation ?

Also for about 6 months the Fuel Gauge, Temperature Gauge Needles shoot past the maximum, I took out the Fuel Gauge from the fuel tank and checked. It is working ok so is the censer. What else could be wrong.

Now recently both the filament of left hand Head Light glow when head light is switched on. What is wrong with it, and how to repair it.

Thanks for your help.
