No, the last year that GM used points in their distributor was in 1972.

Assuming the original stock distributor with points and condensor is what you have, the single black wire that comes out of the bottom of the distributor would go to the small negative post on the ignition coil.
To check if your distributor is installed backwards on a 1972 Plymouth Cuda with a 318 engine, first ensure the rotor is pointing toward the number one cylinder when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. If the rotor points away from the number one cylinder or is misaligned, the distributor may be installed incorrectly. Additionally, verify that the distributor gear is properly engaged with the oil pump drive. If you encounter difficulty in aligning the rotor with the number one cylinder, it may indicate that the distributor is reversed.
No.
I believe 1967 for Chevy cars and 1972 for Chevy trucks.
