I agree with the other fine gents. The points must be switching more current then they are designed for (around 4 amps is a typical maximum current)

The condensor is bad even though its "new"

1) Check coils LV primary resistance to insure its a 12 volt coil, if not replace it
2) If the coil passes TRY A NEW CONDENSOR
Of course the condensor needs wired to the points terminal and well grounded
