Cool. You're method is equally good - though with your method (I guess) you are testing (primarily) if the spark plug itself is good. Testing the wire only will allow you to see if the coil/dist is in proper working order. Not to say you couldn't determine that with using the spark plug instead, but to eliminate the plug itself and isolate the coil/dist I'd check without the plug.
