[TR] was ballast resistor/ electronic ignition, now I was wrong and an apology

Yes, the box needs to be grounded.  As well the steel leads need to be 
clean.

If you're inquisitive, you can open that box and admire the bone stock GM 
HEI ignition module sitting in it.

And as long as you're there, you can question my Triumph or Lucas or 
whomever decided that the GM ignition needed a bunch of other gee-gaws 
installed onto it.  Personally, I disconnected the various capacitors and 
resisters and such.  Most were corroded into non-functionality anyways.
