Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

The resistor is in the harness in '68. That coil is a replacement; a factory coil wouldn't have that requirement printed on it. The item on the side of the coil is a capacitor (condenser); it is for suppression of radio interference due to the ignition. The capacitor inside the distributor cap also serves for noise suppression, but its primary purpose is for impedance matching the ignition circuit.
