I'm sitting here trying to figure out why 2 posters would tell you to clean the points.
If you can read power to the coil (way it should be) and can not read power past the coil (way it should be if points are closed; clean; and working properly) then I do not see any thing wrong.
Now if you come back and tell me the points are open and you can not read power past the coil then I would suggest you check the wire that runs from the coil to the points. It is most likely grounding out where it passes threw the distributor housing.
So before you go to grinding on a new set of points tell us...... Are the points open or closed when you are doing your power test?
We can address replacing points on regular basis once we get it running.
