There is one on my distributers body. It has never had a wire going to it, I am just curious as to what it's for.

for when it's used in plastic engines

Thanks. But what is its purpose?

There was originally a metal shroud around the distributor cap that had a tail on
That plugged onto the side of the distributor , for static, or interference perhaps
