Points plate sparking when doing the timing.

So I don't have a spark at the plugs. I've worked my way back from the plugs, leads, and coils all seem to be good. I figured the gap or timing got out of sync. So I gapped the points and went to do the timing. The test light won't come on when doing the 1-4 point. So I go to move the plate back and forth but still no test light (which is brand new). Instead I'm getting sparks where the mounting bolts hold the plate in. Is this normal or do I have a grounding issue that's keeping my points from firing?
