Parts Identication

The first item is indeed a capacitor. Commonly known in the automotive trade as a "condenser". Used to help reduce ignition noise and extend points life. As for where to get one... I haven't looked, but I gotta believe web searching must turn up something suitable.

As for the second item... What year are you working on here? Off the top of my head, I would guess it's an EGR actuation relay, but depends on the year.

Condensers are still available through Rockauto. Search under ignition parts. 

As for the relay, try cleaning off some of the crap that is coating the wires and give us any wire colors you can make out. Be sure to identify both the main color and the color of any stripe that may be on the wire.

Joe told me earlier he is working on 71 series II car with automatic trans.
That relay is not something I have run across on early series I and II cars.

Thank you. It's clear now. The relay is to bring in the retarded timing points on the dual point distributor in the automatic transmission cars. There is a clear description of it on page EE-26 of the 73 FSM. When the temperature sensor gets up to a certain point, the switch closes and energizes the relay. The relay closes the contact between the second set of points and ground.
