Maybe that popsicle stick has some metal in it. Just for fun try putting a piece of paper between the points and see if that makes no voltage at the stationary point. I understand your not wanting to take the distributor apart and add another unknown but I do think your problem is inside the distributor. Hopefully you can borrow one soon and see if that helps.
At least you are helping to keep a bunch of old guys brain cells stimulated.
