Are you using a pertronix or something?  There are two ways a set of  
points could do that:

1.	Points are not mounted in the right holes (wrong points)

2.	Rotor is not fully mounted in its hole (or wrong rotor)

the third possibility is a rebuilt dizzy with the plate not mounted  
where it should be which would disturb the relationship between the  
rotor and the points.

.. had this happen when using the pertornix unit on a 2 stroke and it  
took a while to figure out that I was getting fire just when the  
rotor was between contacts on the cap!
