Here's a couple of thoughts.
You said the output voltage from the resistor was 8 volts. Did you check it at the coil? Maybe a wire crossed putting a full 14 volts to the coil.
Is your points freely moving on their pivot point? If they are slow to close because of a tight fit, there could be high induced voltage at the points.
Is the points spring properly connected to the insulator block on the side of the distributor? If the points spring tension is incorrect, that could cause points bouncing and burning.
Food for thought. Have fun.
