Turns out that I needed wires, plugs, distributor cap, and rotor button. My first clue was when I soaked the engine during degreasing and it ran poorly.

Evaporation goes upward from the ground (and many times slips mopisture easily under the cap. Sometimes you can get away with cleaning them out once before they're shot.
