If u r talking about the small black thumb nail sized capacitor mounted outside the dist. with one single black wire it goes to the negative side of the coil.The two wire harness one black and white one blue that come out of the dist.,the b&w wire goes negative,the blue wire goes positive. BJ

The distributer or the capacitor.Distributer takes voltage from the coil and distributes it via plug wires to the plugs.The capacitor I am really not sure of but I think it functions to charge the dist prior to the truck actually starting,a kind of "jump start".Not real sure about this so someone correct me if I am wrong.BJ
