tight ignition points

I've got a 218ci engine with a 3-5/16" diameter distributor. I put in a new set of points (Napa CS725A), but the spring tension seems excessive. The manual says the tension at the points should be 16-18 ounces. I measure 25-26 ounces. It says adjust by shifting the spring in its slot, but there's not much adjustment. Did I use the right points? Any ideas on how to change the tension? -Thanks in advance.
