A really easy way to tell if your problem is ignition or something else
is to hook up a timing light and route the wires into the passenger
compartment.  You can drive around and watch the timing light flash
in your rear view mirror.  If it stops flashing, you've lost your
spark.   The beauty of this is you can watch for intermittent problems
as you drive.  Whether or not it stops flashing, one way or another,
that should help you isolate your problem.  (Temp sensor? Distributor?
coil? Computer?)
