Points will work without a condenser however they will burn out from arcing without a good condenser. I will replace the points if I can't clean them up.

That's the dumbest idea ever! How will I reach the key with my tongue on the coil?
I forgot to mention that the distributor wasn't locked down, therefore, I suspect that the points didn't have a good ground. I plan to add a ground wire and report back.
I'll take some pics as well. This pic is similar to the restored model I'm working on.
