    well, it happens, but looking at pictures, check the wires coming off the points, looks like the metal connector was pointing down and grounding on the mag plate. cleaning points may have just broke contact inadvertently. Not sure if anybody mentioned this before but worth mentioning. Same thing just happened to me yesterday after changing coils/caps/points/wire/plugs just like you. In my case the wire was grounding on the metal casing of the condenser.
