starting issue

ok so i threw a push rod over a month ago nd got the car back together and it started up and my timing is off by a few degrees...but the issue is after sitting for a week i got my regular valve cover on, i had a valve cover i made for tuning my rockers with on, i went to start it again and all it did was crank over...i have enough juice in the battery but im running 10.2:1 comp but my starter sounds healthy when im turning the car over...but i took my spark plug out and it seems i may have what seems to be a weak spark...now is there ne way i can test my mallory ignition coil? i replaced the coil last summer cuz i fried my last msd one and my car is only allowed on the streets during the summer but prior to everything the coil was workin fine...ive looked over my distributer and everything seems to be good there so im forced to lean twards the coil...and i have checkd my fuses and they are fine

but if anyone can help me out in trying to figure this out it would lift a great deal of stress off my back...thanks
