Need help with some connectors and getting my car started

Long story short had a few bad transactions on purchasing parts online and let the car sit for about 9 months.

Car was running fine if it sat for a few days it would need some starting fluid to get going.
Well now that I’ve begin to start doing some work with the pile of parts I’ve accumulated the car won’t start. Starter goes the car just does not fire cap and rotor appear fine cleaned engine to chassis ground and engine to negative grounds, was going to check spark by removing a plug and holding it to the manifold when I discovered this. This connector has most wires cut but some are still there going to the ballast resistor so I think this could be an issue. In that slew of wires is a ground that is not connected so I’m not sure where that goes.


Sorry for the jumble to sum it up
1 could this melted connector be my problem?
2 can I order a new one or is there a better (modern?) way of fixing or rerouting all these wires
3 on the fourth picture what are these 2 parts and why are a few wires capped

Sorry for the jumbled mess but I appreciate any help. Thank you
