Re:points and condensers



"- - +12 between coil + and ground
- - coil checks out with resistance check (about 22K between center post and
either terminal, about 9K between terminals)
- - condenser checks out (slowly rising resistance over time)
- - points open and close, and appear to be adjusted more or less correctly
(no dwell meter on hand)
- - distributor turns with engine
- - appears to be a good ground at points"

I don't think you want your points to be grounded.  If you notice when
they're installed, they're insulated from ground.  Check to make sure your
points are grounding out against the distributor.
