    I looked at your detailed engine rebuild pictures to see how one might add tension to advance lever.      1-could you put a spring washer under points plate or under points cam? The cam nut would I think dictate tension possibly?     2-Some sort of shim in lever cross shaft tube?    3- another spring washer under other end of cross shaft. I believe you said you already installed one at one end.    4-drill and tap a hole in cross shaft casing and install a tension set screw. I do not know if there would be an access hole for adjustment.  Just some thoughts on possible ways.
