Come on guys,this is a common component prior to electronic/hei ignitions. Our trucks all came with them.It is a rectangular ceramic divice mounted on the firewall. You can bypass them in an emergency and the downfall will be accelerated pitting of the points. I'm not sure,but they may have originated when the factories(all) converted from 6v to 12v.
