Default Help me idnetify this part and EXACTLY where it goes.

A quick search of the number on it says its a capacitor but I have no clue where it goes or what it plugs into. Im finishing up my cyl head swap and I must have removed this piece at one point but have no memory of it.

I did some searching and this is what I came up with:

its a .47 microfarad capacitor...there are two numbers on it
it has a single wire, mounts through a bolt in the cylinder head, and has 1 single wire with a slide on plastic connector

That's all I could find, but I didn't put much effort into it.

Any connectors that look like they might fit it hangin' somewhere? Maybe around the distributor?

I was having the same problem, it didn't fit over that stud that holds the dipstick in as I first thought where it went, but then found the new (used) engine had a bolt screwed in where the original motor used a stud with a smaller threads to slide the part above on.
