    since they are not needed for the adjustment you can remove the condensers & you will have an extra 2 holes to fish some small 22-24 gauge wire out from under the plate ..for your ohmmeter to connect to

    one wire per point and measure to frame ground on the engine

    you can use a small light bulb or piezo buzzer in series with a small battery but the meter is better to measure to resistance across the point contacts …you should read just about 0 ohms closed ….anything much higher indicates dirty points which must be cleaned with acetone or carb cleaner soaked on a small piece of paper or business car

    🙁
    just woke up… you don’t really need any holes….if….with the flywheel off you can just access the points and use the “high cam position” to make your adjustments
