Is there a way to test the condenser? I did re time and it was off a bit. Points look good

Good morning and Happy Labor Day. Posting again. I have a new carburetor, new coil high performance, new spark plugs (autolite gapped to .032) and the VW distributor from Texas T parts. I also have the alternator from Texas T as well. I fried the first coil because somehow I got the firing order inc...

Thanks all for the help. Indeed the front side of the intake was not aligned and sealing properly. It was adjusted this am and solved that issue.
