Burnt out points?

Alright

so I got this distributor back off. When I’m checking for continuity from the brass screw to the body of the distributor I’m getting nothing with the points closed or open. I attached a picture of it incase you see something obvious that’s wrong.

To add to this if I put the wires on the inside on the gold plate I do have continuity. I’m new to checking this kind of stuff out so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not.

The copper strap "A" appears to be missing, therefore no connection from brass screw ( G ) to points (F ).

Is the copper strap the piece that’s attached to the point closest to the cam? If so do I just stretch it to the brass screw or is it a second piece I’m compeltly missing

Second piece, completely missing. If you can't make metal strap, wire substitute will work.

Awesome I appreciate it so much. Just made one out of the old points and now I have continuity even when putting the coil back on so it looks like I’m back in business….once I get my gasket set for the distributor and then also new wires since one just crumbled in my hand when messing with it LOL
