I figured out how to do this be accident one day. Put a carb/cleaner stud in that is just a hair too long. Close the hood. Presto! The center is well-marked!
As I stated elsewhere, if you're using a solid state regulator, the condenser is not required. However, it won't hurt if it doesn't leak electrical current.
Good "point" on the noise filtering. It also prolongs the life of the points.
Its getting very challenging for me for me to...
The circled item is the condenser that saves the points inside of a points-type 5 Volt regulator. If yours was converted to solid state it won't hurt , but ,you technically do not need to connect it. If yours is still points-type, it will burn the points without it.

I often cast threads in epoxy. Lube the forming bolt well and let it cure...
There's that name I was looking for! It's a heavy rubberized tape that simply serves to help hold and insulate the capillary tube from engine compartment temperature.
