I like the petronix, cheap way to go electronic and retain the curve in the distributor which is the key. After market distributors usually don't list the curve and are pretty fast in, great for the strip but not great for a driver, but some can be recurved.
Seriously the ignition depends on what you want to do with it. Points were great for 80 or so years on most types of engines. Easy also dont be scared of them.
OK spring tension is pretty easy it is the amount of tension on the points measured near the tips. Most stock Mopar points are 17-21 inlbs. High tension like say Accel are upwards of 32-34. What it does is makes sure the points close at high RPM, low tension will float and not make contact...
What was the petronix number you have? Personally, I like the 1381's seem to be way more reliable have done dozens of them. Still nothing wrong with a good set of points unless your looking for a 1/10th of a second difference at the strip.
