It looks like a relay for a tilt away steering column. What years is your car? They didn't offer the tilt away until 67.

Could be a relay for the seatbelt warning light also.

Looks like a ballast resistor. You don't need it unless you're running points.

Not a ballast resistor, if it were it would be ceramic. It is a relay for something and I'm pretty sure that it is for a seatbest warning light.
