Default Checking ignition coil with dwell meter

In the faq, it says you can test the ignition coil by hooking up a
dwell meter to the negative coil terminal. On a 91 accord, how do I do
this?

Do I take off the dist cover and rotor and clip it onto the terminal.
Do I then crank it like that. Won't thank damage something, as the
spark the coil generates will not have anywhere to go? Should I unplug
one of the wires going into the disctributor?

What is a good dwell. If I have an internitant problem, would this
identify it or would I have to wait until the problem reproduced.

I couldn't find much info about this in the gourp or online.

Thanks!
