Hi Cash,
There is one on each end of the primary coil winding. The one inside the
distributer connects to the - (neg) side of the coil and protects the points
from burning. The one on the positive side of the primary acts like a "high
pass" filter and shunts higher frequencys that are induced into the + (pos)
line by the coil to the chassis so they don't interfere with the radio.
Hope that helps,
Dan Kling
