The vac hoses look like they need sorting out. Particularly the one that tees off the air box into fresh air. Is it blanked off with a dust cap?
You shouldn't be able to see the outside world from the engine bay. I'm pretty sure the bit to the left of your coil should be completely boxed in.

This. The rigid plastic pipe hose that's going nowhere should be on the stub on the distributor vacuum unit.
Perhaps the advance/retard unit is duff, hence being disconnected and blanked off.

Retards the ignition at idle to improve emissions I think.
