Any moisture build up in the dizzy cap or on the coil wires etc from it being stood?

The timing was out abit so ive adjusted it to as best i can do without a timing gun and it does smell a little bit rich, The fuel filter was on the car when i bought it so could be quiet old, and ive just replaced the dizzy cap and rotar arm along with spark plugs.

 

cheers
