spark jumping out of coil to ground ?

Have a freshly rebuilt 2.0 liter with new distributor cap, wires, points, though older used 12v coil from USA. Ran well first 200 miles. Yesterday I notice with engine running, a steady spark jumping out of coil "outlet" nipple and shorting over to either/ both positive & negative posts. Engine continues to idle though.

Any guesses as to why brand new parts are allowing this to happen.

Suspect your distributor not aligned correctly ... check where rotor is pointing at TDC.
