The TSZ electronic ignition on the 1970-on models had a condenser, though many thought that it didn't have a function. Often times the wire to the condensor wire was cut because there was a school of thought that the condenser might even reduce the life of the points.
Because the junction block for distributor lead was under the battery, it made it difficult to attach a dwell meter to set up new ignition points so many times there would be a bare spot in the wire where a mechanic cut back the insulation to check the dwell setting of the points.
In the 70's most people thought a "tune up" should cost less than $50 so taking the time to remove the battery to replace the entire condensor assembly were short cutted and the wire would be clipped and spliced together with a crimp connector.
