Dizzy cap didn't look too bad, have seen a lot worse scorching than that. Not quite sure what that grey, greasy substance is, though.
Rotor, with a rivet. Could this be the smoking gun?
Reviewing the history of my ownership, the ignition situation has been deteriorating since I first installed that engine. I was having problems with stalling, then restarting. Since I was running a resistor coil and points, and jumping the resistor made it start easily I assumed the problem was that the bypass circuit in the starter just had failed.
The points and resistor coil were then replaced with a Pertronix and a 12V coil, and things were well again - for a while.
