I think the left one is a T.C.S. (Time controlled sparks) Relay, for Vacuum Advance delay.

Surprised you didn't get the help on the camaros.net/forums (assuming you tried that one). I think that site & forum is incredibly awesome & full of people with immense knowledge and expertise. Sorry - can't help you - I've got a '68 which never had anything like that and if it did I would have gotten rid of it by now anyway. Good lUck
