Prior to today, I had connected the blade on the black wires between the fiber washer and the points stationary base.
In this configuration, the points would make/break continuity when the points open and closed. This was how I thought the points should work.
Today I placed the blade on the black wires between the bolt head and the metal washer.
Now the resistance between the black stator wire and the green stator wire changes from 0.3 ohms to 2.1 ohms as the points open and close. There is never a point when continuity is lost. Just the fluctuation is resistance as the points open and close.
Well, I hope this explanation is clear. In any event, I now have spark.
