I did a (Yahoo)search on 'alternator' and came up with the site below. I includes both a diagram and an explanation of operation. I'm having a bit of trouble following your testing but a the statement ". . . current through the points" implys continuity through the coil primary winding. Of course the capacitor could be shorted. How much current are you measuring 'through the points?' About three amp's would be about correct. If the cap. is shorted it will be high, like smoke. To get a rough test of the coil secondary measure the resistance from either coil post(the windings are connected at one post) to the socket of the high voltage lead. The resistance should be a few thousand ohms, however be aware all this does is test continuity nothing for for internal shorts. I hope this helps.
