Distributor refresh gone wrong

Some new point sets have a coating on them,and wont pass current. A piece of paper to clean them is all you need. Printer type paper. When i had my distributor out, i test with an ohmmeter to verify continuity through points when they close.
And if old points are worn evenly i leave condenser as is.

had a skidsteer that lost spark. It was cold and raining, needed to load it, i took a chance and popped cap,clipped wire on condenser and it fired right up. Didnt run worth a ****,but it loaded onto trailer and i could get it out of the weather.
