Coil Help

O.K. Got the Alternator issue taken care of Thanks to all, Now this is going to sound stupid, What is the little thing mounted on the coil bracket (I think it is to stop the noise from the radio?) Is it a condensor? and does the wire connect to the Coil or Batt side of the coil?

I can't see it too good in the picture.Does it have one wire or two? I think one wire and it may be a condenser for static,two wires and it may be your ballast resister to drop the voltage to the points...

If I am seeing it correctly it is the noise supression condenser. The mounting bolt provides the ground for the case so the wire should go on the battery side of the coil.
