Mine has the clamp for the wire for the points and it´s not part of the condenser never has been . There seems to be one specific to the FI type 3 72 and 73 all it has is a tab on the condenser yet I canTMt find any photoTMs and it has to clear he trigger point plug. I keep thinking it was mounted on one of the vacuum can screws /.
The 72-3 condensor mounts to the vac adv screw about 2" to the left
of where the wire enters the dist. The correct Bosch condensor has
the number 220 as the last 3 digits of the long Bosch part number
stamped on the end of the condensor. Bosch no longer makes this part;
the part they sell now is made by someone else and doesn't have a
long enough wire to reach.
I have a few NOS 220 Bosch condensors, but they are expensive.
There's no reason to replace them; I've never heard of a faulty one.

Good luck with that. Let us know how it turns out.
