It's not really needed to replace the ignition parts just yet. Three major things you do before starting a car that has been sitting for as long as that one has is:
Change the oil. It has broken down on its own by now. All you're doing is gauling out the bearings and scaring the cylinder walls.
Drain the gas tank and put in clean fresh fuel. Reason being the gas and water have separated and the water is at the bottom. It's getting sucked in to the engine first.
Change the fuel filter. Junk in it has solidified and will block the line.
This is basic stuff.
Then pull the plugs. Clean and gap them. The rotor button you can clean off with mom's emery board and reuse. Clean and reattach the battery connections.
As for what that is in the picture, it appears to be a vacuum sensor. Notice the wires comming out of the bottom of it. I'd bet real money it's telling the computer there is no vacuum on the system. If no vacuum, no start.
