Ya have been working in that area so I recommend ya clean the points.
I use folded 600 grit Wet or dry (black) sand paper (dry) and with the points closed I draw the paper through the points a couple of times.
If ya have contact cleaner ya can open the points and spray them.
I then draw a business card through them when they are closed to finish the job. .............lm

So with the help of LM i got the points and timing corrected (0.014" gap at highest and opening @ F on rotor).

I am getting a spark between my points, is that a bad thing or a good thing?
Do I need to do something to my condensor?

Also be sure that all contacts in the ignition circuit are clear, give good attention to the coils/ground there.

Probably is wise to do that also after you cleaned the points.

anyway, sparks generally only occur when the condensors are worn/don't function.

'officially' you should replace the points and condensors at the same time.

I always like shiny new ignition parts, the whole lot, and I generally always change/renew it when I get problems or 'issue's' with it, or don't trust stuff.

Anyway again, sparks between the points generally only occur when the condensors are worn/don't function.

I used 600 grit - no spray cleaner.

NOS condensor - looks identical to the old one, just new.
I will try to brake fluid - should cleaning it stop it from sparking?!
