It controls or regulates the output from the dynamo to prevent overcharging 
 of the battery.  The dynamo might put out 14 volts charge which the 
battery  won't like so the clicking points thing prevents this from happening.  
Then  if you put all the headlights on and they draw 2 volts the clicking 
points thing  needs to open to let all the dynamo produce the full charge - 12 
to the battery  and 2 to the lights.
 
The easiest way to see this work is have an assistant switch stuff on while 
 the engine is running and for extra interest have a voltmeter across the  
battery.

They  both looked the same, both cars were positive ground, so I went ahead
and  put it in. My question is, what does it control? I left the cover off,
and  when the car was running, it didn't do anything.
Magically though, my  wipers now work.
