Found a capacitor...I think?

if its anything like the FC one ..its actually there to smooth bumps / attenuate out in the oil pressure sensor
.. yes its a 0.47 micro farad cap similar to what is found suppressing radio RFI
.. but on the FC.. and i suspect on the FD,, the unit bolted to the firewall near the clutch slave is to slow down spikes in the oil pressure sender

What happens when you drive under a power line ? static on the radio right . It for sure is not a power spike in the car. Anything that might help your radio static should be in the antenna or radio system not on the firewall . Guys take them off and throw them away and then can't figure out why there gauges etc. are erratic .

It's very possible , not saying for sure , The gauges and so on in the little cars seem to be very sensitive . Although the pressure is bound to increase when the engine revs . hook it up and check it out ( is the other end of the plug still on the firewall ) It will need to be grounded to work .

I saw you had another post regarding wiring problems with your power windows.... This might be a good time to look over your wiring and make sure that there isnt any unnecessary wiring I.E. funny looking splicing for aftermarket car alarms/gauges/stereos ...etc that might be back feeding into the rest of the wiring...
when diagnosing electrical problems it is always best to eliminate these things from the equation by disconnecting them.
once you are satisfied that they are not the source of the problems you can reconnect them

I'm also trying to understand what the purpose of this condenser/ground is.
I swapped out to the 1A coils and now have no spark and think I may be experiencing a short in the electrical harness somewhere... blew a fuse ... coils heating up .... weird - scary stuff.
Then I found the ground/consender wire was broken. Ordered a new one and will install later this week.

on the FC the wire for the condenser is really easy to pinch, and or short out on the block. the FC condenser is there for the oil pressure gauge and if you short that wire it will fry the gauge eventually
