1995 3vze having trouble starting

The engine will start and run fine, but will take many more revolutions than usual until it does start, and will stumble for a few seconds in low rpm then everything is fine. When it is running, however, there is a pretty big smell of gas coming out of the tailpipe. I had this problem before and decided that the gas smell was weak spark not burning all the fuel and making it difficult to start. A "cap and rotor" did the trick.

This time though the cap & rotor didn't do the trick but there is still a strong gas smell signaling weak spark so I was wondering if there is another area in the ignition system that has a gap that the spark needs to gap. The only reason I asked is that I noticed on top of the distributor there is a wheel that seems to be bridging a gap with a metal block to the side of it and that seems to be where another area of interests might be for me solving this thing.

let me know what you think
any help is appreciated
