Update:

Checked the rotor (it's a Beru) and there is only a sticker saying "6500". My old rotor was a Bosch and had "7100" on it, but the PO broke off the slider/spring, so it is essentially without a limit. I cleaned up the old rotor and with fine sand paper sanded the contact points and popped it back in.

I also used this occasion to check how tight the wires are in the caps at the distributor cap and 3 were so loose that they fell out as soon as I pulled on them. I have the Bosch ignition wire set so they have a "wood screw" to screw them back onto the wire.

Car runs like a champ again and happily revs to redline.
