When I first got my 18R-GU running I used the distributor off the old 18R-C complete with contact points (pre-WW1 technology). It didn't like to rev at all, most likely because the points were bouncing at speed. Later I put the original electronic distributor on and problem solved - it revs cleanly to 6500rpm now. It will probably go much further but it doesn't make any more power beyond that with the stock cams, so I don't bother.
Moral of the story: get an electronic dizzy if you like revs. 
As for the factory redline, some versions were set at 6500rpm and others 7000rpm, but it's a known fact that an 18R-G will safely go well beyond this before valve bounce rears its ugly head. The bottom end is built like the proverbial brick outhouse so there's not much chance of causing any damage before the natural rev-limiter (valve bounce) kicks in.
