Cam plate question?

Used the dripper and replace the solid bolt with the bolt with the hole. Older double roller motors came with the hole . Newer motors came with a dripper and were oiled by the excess oil from the cam bearing run off.

Using both, bolt with hole and the dripper is just double oiling which is a good thing. I myself use the dripper and the bolt with hole on all builds. I also use the plate with the chamfered plate SP.

Tensioners are junk they were installed as a bandage on newer motors with cheap chains and inconsistent cam to crank spread. Throw the tensioner in the garbage they sell different length chains for this reason if your line bore is to deep. If you need a tensioner on your motor you need to get a better chain. pushing in on the slack side lengthens the pull side which changes cam timing. Sometimes you have to think of why mopar would do the tensioner . It was to absorb the cost of fixing the cam to crank spread. Much cheaper then redoing it right.

Interesting that the tensioner plate in your last photo has a hole on the right side aligning with the oil galley plug.
