The wire Steve mentioned would be a bare copper braided wire, 
which is used to make sure that the breaker plate is always well 
grounded.

I suspect that you wire you are seeing, so far, is the insulated wire 
that runs from the condensor to the points and is a part of the 
points assembly. This is NOT the wire in question, although this 
wire does need to be in good condition. This one is seldom a 
problem because you get a new one with every set of points.
