See if the shaft that the rotor sits on is loose. That can allow the rotor to flop around and hit the peripheral terminals.
I'm not sure what could have burned out from the terminals shorting out. I know that the TFI module that drives the coil is a little delicate, and can be destroyed by the heat in the engine compartment.
