Ray.....my experiences with a 1965 318 cubic inch 2 bbl polyhead engine is you don't want to exceed 5000 RPM too often or too long.....or....you'll be replacing the rod bearings......ask me how I know......

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. Get it?

Got it and thank you!

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.
