Completely different function. It protects the circuits in the distributor from spikes and surges.

From Mallory: "These Mallory Active Power Filters are designed for Unilite ignition systems that experience failures with ignition modules from voltage spikes. Voltage spikes are clamped and regulated by the Active Power Filters, keeping them from damaging the Unilite ignition modules."
