When you turned the crankshaft to observe the points opening, had the spring for the top seal pushed the cam up and away from the points rubbing blocks?
Normally, the flywheel holds the cam down in place but it will spring up once the flywheel is removed, unless it’s seized onto the crank. Replacing the flywheel on a QD or Sportwin can be tricky to as the crankshaft must be positioned with the rubbing blocks at the lowest points on the cam and the keyway lined up at the same time.
