i think the wire, with the cap, that you described is the spout connector.

Xltlariat87 is right. The SPark OUTput connector is the "cap" in the end of the wire. It is essentially a "jumper" connector. By removing the connector, the computer can no longer control timing advance, so it defaults to the base timing that you set by loosening and twisting the distributor.
