bent rotor contact blade

i tried dropping in a different distributor, but im not sure if its a good one or not, ive had it in a box for a couple of years, im just wondering why it wont fire, then i will be buying an all new distributor


Did something bend the blade on the rotor, or did the rotor fail and let the blade rotate? I had a Mallory rotor fail because the little screw holding the blade to the rotor came loose and the blade spun around and the engine quit. Luckily, I was only a mile and a half from the shop so I towed it back.

What a PITA because I thought I broke something in a brand new engine.
