ground wire for coil

ok so I have been tryin to get the truck to start again and it wouldnt and I finally figured out it was the ground wire for the coil... Anyway it has the little black box that bolts to the dizzy and the wire is broke off right at it, So my question is, can I just bolt the wire straight on the the dizzy or does it have to be connected to the little black box???? I need to know something A.S.A.P. I am gonna make a yard run tomorrow and will be looking for one if I need it.. thanks in advance

I'm not sure that's a ground wire for the distributor, I think that box is a static suppressor for the radio, so you really don't need that wire to be connected. Anyway, on mine I dug out the plastic a little and re-soldered the wire on. I'd concentrate on wire connections and timing.
