Hmm, maybe I don't understand. But the ignition lead is not even connected in the case of the new points. They are straight out of the box, never being installed.

And it does not matter whether I measure the resistance between the ground plate of the points (where they will be screwed to the distributor) and the electrical connector (where the lead will go after installation), or between the ground plate of the points and the body of the points (anywhere on the moving 'arm').
