Ord, there is a boss on the cylinder head around the distributor hole. Clean the paint off there too.
Before removing your distributor, take and ohm reading from the point arm to a clean head nut. I've only done this once on our coupe, and it was a small reading to the right of the decimal. A small fraction of an ohm. With heavy paint you may get a high reading. The amp reading suggested above would also be revealing. (turn the ig switch off to use the ohmmeter)
