Good catch, John!

Sometimes we miss the forest for the trees.

Check the resistance of the coil windings while you have them off.

As it turns out, this is the ignition setup I've got under the hood. (this picture is not from my car, it'* just the same setup)

I've never so much as touched it since I've had the car. Any ideas from here on out?

Take the plugs wires off the coils (make sure to note which wire goes where), use an ohmeter or multimeter to check the resistance between each pair of terminals, remove them, check the resistance between the underside terminals (you'll have to probe with wire or something), and do the rest I said above.
