Electrical Thingy?

[PUPTLAM]

Having trouble starting the fj40, seems like not enough battery power but it reads out at 12.9 volts. i started cleaning all my connections and grounds but ended up breaking this thing. Before i go calling around to auto parts stores what is this called? I think its an external ballist resistor. Am I even close? Its sits on the passenger side fender well right below the coil and has a wire running to the coil.
Thank you all in advance again. Pup

As you can see the truck is an electrical nightmare, new wiring harness is already arrived from CCOT

Sorry, Could Not Figure Out How To Send The Pic Of The Wiring

looks like a resistor that goes before the coil not sure if that is stock becuase I don't have a stock ignition but I have a similar looking resistor.

Correct, it's a ballast resistor.

It is stock and you DO need one. If there is not one you will burn out your coil.

Electronic ignitions eliminate them.
