H4 Farmall A Magneto piece missing?

I just bought an old A with an H4 magneto but someone had already taken the condensor out and the tip of the condesor was broken off. By looking at pictures of complete magnetos it seems that I am missing a screw and nut on the outside of the magneto. I think I am missing a piece that is supposed to go outside the magneto to connect to a kill switch wire. However I purchased a Magneto kit with new condensor and the new condensor has a threaded brass tip which does not seem to reach outside of the magneto housing. Upon further examination I notice that YT sells two types of condensors in their kits and one seems to have a small nut at the end of it. I purchased mine from tractor supply but can anyone tell me if there are two different condensors used in the H4 type magneto. and if so am I going to have to get more parts to fix this problem? Thanks and I hope my description was clear enough to follow to hopefully get some help. Matt
 
An H4 condenser will look like a downsized AA battery with a long threaded stud that will pass through the insulators on the mag body and have the ground wire thread onto the end.

The condenser for a battery ignition will be much more of a barrel shape and have amuch shorter threaded stud.
