LOL, its not that bad. But does not look good. You think it will be ok?
Just so you know... that same distributor I pictured above was eventually transplanted (after it was cleaned up a bit ) into my '88 Formula which I daily-drive and autocross, and it works just fine.

Apparently the reason why the inside of the distributor rusts so bad is because ozone is produced inside the distributor (from the spark jumping to the poles in the cap from the rotor) and this heavily contributes to the corrosion... so make sure the wire mesh screen (for ventilation) in the base of the distributor is free of debris.

Pat, you are correct. And with every spark, small pieces of metal are blown away with very high heat and very high current for nano / micro seconds It also produces alot of RF
