What I can tell is that it's completely worn out.
If you're using it, pitch it and get another.

How often should the distributor caps and rotor be changed.
What is the average lifespan.

50,000 to 60,000 miles, more or less. Will run over 100,000 if you don't mind the lousy performance and bad milage from poor ignition.
Lino: You have considerable wear on the electrodes, quite a bit of splatter, and con-committant cross fire and missfire. Probably runs like crap cold and damp from grounding out, too. Check the wires for signs of arcing, particularly the wire from coil to dizzy. If you see spidery whitish patterns on metal or plastic parts the wires touch, it's time for new ones. Peter
