Re: more wiring problems
those two boxes are something called spark delay?? an early halfassed attempt at polution control the wire went to the tanny and carb area
they were normally disconnected about 15seconds after leaving the dealers lot back in the day they were about as useless as they are today

Re: more wiring problems
That is part of the TCS (Transmission Controled Spark) system. The TCS controlled the vacuum advance from advancing until the engine was warmed up and the transmission was in high gear.
It was an early attempt at emissions control. Jim
