Help!!!

  My 'new to me' '92 Miata won't start.  Got it 2 weeks ago - drove it
every day for 10 days, not a problem!!!  Even lousier weather ( New
Hampshire - 6 weeks of rain ) had me park it for 5 days - This AM,
BEAUTIFUL morning - cranks, but won't start.  Full tank o' gas.
Battery WAS OK, but worn down trying to start.  Cranks like a champ.
Lovely smell of fuel!   Pulled a plug - pretty blackened - bought a set
of Bosch plat. , gapped to .044, no go.  I'm not seeing a spark with
the plug out of the cylinder.  I don't think that both coils would fail
at the same time.  Went out, bought a Haynes manual.  Not sure where to
start now.....Previous owner - an OK guy it seems - said Never a
problem with the ignition....

I can do some work - did a wiper motor and starter on my '97 Jetta,
struts on an old Toyota (with some help).  My wife is gonna kill me if
this is $$$$  - needed new catalitic converter for inspection.....
