Snap-On Tension gauge...
It was hard to get over 20oz at the contacts with OEM points but the REBCO points had a thicker spring and you could get up to 24oz easily. I ran REBCO and had a special tool for tweaking the spring to increase the tension. You have to be careful with how you bend the spring. If you just increase the existing bends by squeezing them tight they will fail. The trick is to make a forming tool that allows tightening the bend but spreading out the deformation over a wider section of the spring.
