UPDATE:
I managed to get the engine to run, and run well last night. Turns out, it [I]was[I] the points. I used Matt Gonitzke's method of static timing and it turn's out the points weren't closing quite enough to contact and charge up the coil, and that's why I didn't have spark. That's the last time I'll be fiddling around with timing. I'll stick to gapping the points at .020 like I did last night; way harder to mess up.
I ran the 149 with the points cover off in case I'd have to make any adjustments, and I was getting a nice, hot spark from them, even with the condenser wired in. The coil is definitely doing it's job this time around!
