Is there a good reason you're changing the points and condenser? 

If not, I'd suggest leaving well enough alone.  Original parts are very reliable and other than points sometimes needing the contacts cleaned, will normally last for decades and many thousands of miles. 

Installing new points and condenser... "just because".., especially modern aftermarket parts...  can often lead to trouble in my experience where none existed before. 

This might just be my cheap lazy bastard side talking though.
