coil spark jumping outside to ground ??

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

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