Resistance seems Ok, but in the pictures it looks like you have dirty points, and I’m willing to bet the condensors need to be replaced. Points can be cleaned and don’t need to be replaced. But when you clean them clean all around them not just the contact surface.
There are wires going to the kill button on the mag plate that can make contact with ground "if" the insulation goes bad, but that is rare. On coils that fire 2 plugs at the same time, the test for continuity is between the two secondarys. You won’t get continuity from one secondary lead to ground..so your test was correct.
