issue with my distributor points on my 64 Dart

No the condenser is absolutely essential in breaker point ignitions. Unless some coils are better designed, all older ignitions MUST have a condenser. The condenser/ coil "trade energy" from what is called the "flywheel effect" of the charge in the condenser by the coil, and then discharging back into the coil. THAT can be seen on an oscilloscope

To imply that the condenser's most important job is to protect the points (which it does) is a red herring, because without a cap/ condenser, the damn thing will never run. The system won't make enough spark. Therefore protecting the points is "pointless" so to say.
