First NO START ever

Can we pull a coil pack, then it's plug, then reassemble where the plug is visible (with plug base grounded) and crank it over to see if there's spark?

Gosh, I'm not sure what a "coil pack" is. I remember the old way of pulling a plug wire and holding it close to the spark plug, then having someone turn the key to see if it generates a spark. (Sometimes generating a in the process.)

I've never actually dug far enough down in there to see where the plugs are on this car. Maybe you could elaborate for me?

Responding here only to "old-way" parts:
If held next to the wire end of the plug, then the system needs to spark two places to make any spark. Also many plug-wire ends have metal up inside a non-conductive rubber boot cover. Alternative is to remove plug, install plug-wire, and lay/restrain the thread end of the plug to the head...or wire it to something metal.
