That may very well be a turbo encabulator. Haven't seen one in a while so i'm not 100% sure.

Really wondering what this is. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm almost certain it is an old ballast resistor from an old old Chrysler ignition system.https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_S43243?cid=pai

It looks like copper encased in some sort of ceramic. Could be an old electronic component. Do the ends have any type of protrusions?
