How does one test the power of the spark?  Is there a certain Amp  value 
using a multimeter?  ...Or just listen for the "snap" of the spark  when 
shorting it against the valve cover?

I would imagine the best way to check the power of the spark would be  to 
find someone with an operating oscilloscope and knows how to use it.   Under 
load (foot on brake/e-brake set and wheels chocked, in gear, give it gas  
and ease out the clutch.  The voltage to each individual spark plug in the  
firing order can be measured.  I have one and "know" how to use it and it  is 
a resource for our Club to utilize.
