What you have now (following the previous "surgery") appears to be simply a (presumably 1K) bell, so it should behave the same as any other 1K bell.

I also have a bellset 41 - which I have wired up simply as an extension bell connected (via the usual 3.3K resistor) to the externally capacitated bell wire.

Incidentally, given that a bell should not be doing anything while the loop is made (i.e. off-hook), at what point does the click occur?
