Paul,

I was rebuilding my 13B and this part came off the engine. There was a
wire coming out of the rectangular end but it was broken off. I think it
came off the top of the rear housing. What is it's function?

Hope this is better. I scanned the part. Any clues?

No real idea. Could be a temp sensor.

Capacitor, 0.47 microfarad, 250Volts
Cannot think of its intended function, probably not important for us.
Maybe slows down the reponse of a sensor? The stock oil pressure gauge
used a weird circuit more complex than a simple resistance sender, it is
likely part of that.
