Regarding the points, the “contact” halve that has the insulators, should not be grounded
to the mag plate when the points are open, when you check with your meter.
If there are, the insulators are not in the right places.

The primary wire from the coil, and condenser lead, both go the points, and sometimes
a “kill switch” wire as well.
Usually there’s some kind of shorter wire from the coil that grounds to the
mag plate.

Prepare to be boarded!
