I may have this wrong, but I think one set of points establishes the dwell and the other set triggers the spark. To check continuity through each set of points, you need to insulate/ isolate the other set of points by putting a piece of paper between the contacts. I hope that helps.
I have a timing jig, but could not figure out what I was doing. I had already ordered a Pertronix for it along with their coil. I installed them and the engine has never missed a beat.
