I believe the round connector goes to ground? I think I left it off when i did the headlight upgrade. The wire goes to the that connector and then to the module that's connected by the coil.. what is this circuit? As always, appreciate it guys!!

An uninsulated ring connector is usually a ground wire. BUT
previous owners can use them to connect accessories to the battery PLUS terminal.
 
Nothing about that looks stock. To me the little black box looks like a rectifier or voltage regulator, possibly for some accessory. What does the other end the wire connect to?

It goes to the connector in the picture - black wire to grey wire, that connects to the module that's bolted to the coil bracket.

What ties into that blue connector under coil?
 
I still don't think that's a stock circuit, but I haven't the foggiest clue what it might be. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Hopefully someone will chime in with an answer for you!
 
I believe that's the "condenser" - a small capacitor that helps eliminate interference noise. I thought it was for the radio but after consulting the most holy tome of the Body & Chassis Manual, I'm not so sure.

Here’s a pic of the alien device.👽 I immediately thought it went to ground- but it’s a single wire circuit and it looks like it was picking up ground from the coil bracket?? Not sure I see it in the schematic…

That little square box thingy that’s bolted on the coil bracket is a ballast resistor. It suppresses noise from the ignition that can be heard on the radio. It’s an original Toyota part.
