Those are the rotor and stator assemblies, they aren't anything like points. As the vanes on the rotor pass through the stator's magnetic field they produce a pulse which goes to the ignition modules (ignitors) where the pulse is amplified and sent to trigger the coil. If the car is running ok, the air gap is probably satisfactory. A little bit of rust on them shouldn't affect their operation. -WG
