Just measured a few different ground resistances on the vehicle. It seems like everything is well grounded - all measured with points closed.
1. Bat (-) to block = .2 - .4 ohms
2. Bat (-) to frame = .2 - .4 ohms
3. Bat (-) to dizzy body = .4 - .7 ohms
4. Bat (-) to dizzy post = .5 ohms
5. Bat (-) to dizzy points plate plate = .3 - .7 ohms

5. Bat (-) to dizzy points plate plate = .3 - .7 ohms
.They shouldn't be sparking, and certainly not arcing to ground.
If your condenser is in good condition, that doesn't leave many things to try.
You said that your voltmeter measures a good ground at the points plate and the post when closed.
What do you mean by that exactly? You measured voltage between the battery negative terminal to those places??
Switch your meter over to resistance/ohms and measure the resistance between the post and the battery negative terminal when points closed. Also measure from the points plate to battery ground.
Sounds like you might have a poor ground connection at the dizzy
