  1. The rotor looks shot to me. The perimeter contact tab appears to be sintered. If it's worn as it appears to be, so is the distributor cap.
  2. Both the rotor and magnetic ring must be removed to remove the plate and access the advance mechanism beneath.
  3. Deal with the plug wires one at a time.
These issues are important to a good running engine so please don't shy away from them. It is important in this case to do the work without removing the distributor.
