Whats this part?

65 S1 4.2. 4TR unit has what looks like a condenser with one wire attached on the controller bracket assembly. Took apart to clean and now can’t remember where the wire attaches; +, -, or F. Numbers on the condenser like unit are 1297 330 004 with 416 below numbers.
Thanking all in advance.

Probably a radio suppressor.

Here is the picture link. All original to the car. If indeed a radio suppressor, which post do I reinstall it to. Again, many thanks.

Positive. I’ve never seen one on the 4TR, although S2’s have one on the IVR. Make sure it’s good before you wire it back in. You can perform a crude test with an ohmmeter: First, short the lead to the case to make sure it’s discharged. Then place one probe on the case and the other on the lead. When you first hook it up, it will seem to have low resistance, but as you hold the probes in place, resistance will increase to infinity. This can happen quickly or slowly, depending on the rating of the capacitor.
