     The points in the ole beetle was bad about shorting out,
If you got the gap set correct, just wiggle the points around a bit and most of the time the short goes away.
Did you rotate the engine to where one of the 4 little
lobes in the distributer was touching the rubbing block on
the points and then set the gap.  the gap is .018
