I am about to replace my distributor, coil, resistor etc. There is what looks like some sort of condensor wired to one of the coil terminals but I do not know exactly what it is or its function (see picture). Dan thinks it is some sort of condensor for perhaps radio suppression. Before I start exchanging parts and perhaps removing this part, can anyone identify what it might be or perhaps someone else has one of these on thier car. Is it necessary? It is slightly larger than the condensor on the distributor. Thanks for any help.
