I'm glad your car is alive and well but am curious how you could short or damage the points unless a power wire was somehow connected to them directly while they were closed. I have managed to overheat or oxidize points by leaving the key on for an extended time while the points were closed but generally that won't outright kill them.

Out of curiosity was the carb original or did it get a rebuild before you picked it up. I am surprised a modern rebuild kit would have any component that would deteriorate with ethanol.
