its a RTR and not using a box. I think way back it had a certain length of silver resistance wire for the points. I think i cut it off and added copper wire many years ago but not certain. I cut back in to the original copper wire today and theres not much to it. I added 12 gauge to extend it over to the coil. Basically just put it back the way it was for years.

The pic is the original wire coming out of the harness next to the firewall. I wanted to see what type of metal it was. I believe originally the resistance wire was hooked to this.
