Well, I got a new cap and rotor, put it on, put the spark plugs back in (I had left them out to dry out good), and it started. I'm not sure I understand why, it had good spark at the plugs, I had the cap off and looked at it, the contacts were showing their age, but I've seen much worse that had worked. When I pulled the rotor off and looked at it, it wasn't unusually bad either, but I did notice some condensation on it, which I suppose could have been a factor. I don't want to celebrate yet, as I had it running once before and it seemed fine, left it sit and it wouldn't start again, but I'm real glad it's at least running again. Thanks for the advice!
