I used the continuity setting on a multimeter and found when I unplugged the Black and White wires at the harness the meter accurately signaled the open and closing of the points.
On the upside, she ran much better with new points, condensers and a fresh timing adjustment.
On the downside, she started running like a dog after about five miles. Got her home and started troubleshooting and knew it had to be one of the new condensers, so I put the old one back in. No change - so I figure maybe a coil gave up or a plug. Thought maybe I should check the plugs for spark and the left side was dead as a hammer - no spark. Then a moment of clarity hit me and I pulled the side pan and dang if the white wire wasn't loose in the connector. Plugged it back in and now she's back.
