Typical causes are excess points current and/or a bad condenser.
When it was converted to 12 volts was the old 6 volt coil still used??? and if so was an external series voltage dropping (12 down to 6) ballast resistor added???? If its still a 6 volt coil unballasted it will overheat and the points burn up quickly.
Put a voltmeter on the coils input (NOT the terminal to distributor) and turn ign on and when points are closed read the voltage?? If its a 6 volt coil you need 5 to 7 volts or so (because a proper ballast would drop the other 6 volts). If it was replaced with a full true 12 volt rated coil (NO ballast) then Id expect like 12 volts.
If the coil is correct try a new condenser. If its still a 6 volt coil see how hot it runs???
