What part is this next to the ign coil? It is a small tube. What does this thing do? The wire at the end is exposed and about to come off.

It's a noise suppression capacitor.

To keep electrical noise (whining, hissing, etc) contained in the protected circuitry.

Old thread but same answer.

Electrical Thread 'What Is This Pig Tail Wire On Ignition Coil'

Dec 30, 2013
I attached a picture below..
My car turns over just fine but its just not firing up! I re-stabbed the distributor lined it up again and still nothing! is there like a VERY sweet spot that it must be 100% perfect? something else has to be it.. don't know where to start.

This coil has a little pig-tail that seems lose like it's not connected inside anymore.. what is it?
