Yes, that cap and rotor kit looks correct. It is exactly what I installed on my old car before I sold it.

The MSD coil in the pic is definately the correct coil, can't go wrong there!

And yes, you'll need to check the gap on new plugs ALWAYS! The stock gap setting is 0.052".

If those are laser tip style plugs, then they aren't designed to be gapped. Gap doesn't make a whole lot of difference. As long as you aren't blowing out the spark, then it doesn't matter a whole lot. Best guess for start is about .045".
