Lets make sure your distributor is grounded in the block.
You may have already done this, but with the points OPEN, take a voltage measurement from either of the junction box posts to the fixed point on the distributor. If you read 0 volts, then you have a grounding problem. If you read 6 volts (expected result), then the distributor is grounded.
