Voltage regulator

The thing above the voltage regulator is a plastic fastener. It is pushed through a hole in the firewall and on the inside, it retains an insulated pad.

Oh ok thanks. I just dont know what it would be for. Theres an electronic ignition but it wasnt plugged into anything.

You need a voltage regulator even if it has electronic ignition. Your car is a 69. That came with a single field alternator. The one in the pic is for a 70+ 2 field alternator.

Somebody was going to convert the regulator/alternator system to the newer '70 and up system and never got past the mounting to the firewall stage of the conversion.

That's most likely what happened. If you still have the original charging system, you should also see something that looks like this earlier style regulator -
