[AT] Continental Ignition

[Cecil R Bearden]

It that the aluminum box about 5 x 5 x 2 with the circuit board exposed 
when the goo runs out?  If so, what color is the grommet that the wires 
come through out of the box?  If so, it is a control box from about a 
75-80  model Ford with electronic ignition.  The color of the grommet is 
the defining part.    Take a look at this

The ignition brain box is loosing it's goo and it has started missing/running poorly. In all my Google searches all I can find is reference to points and condenser ignition systems. Since this engine was used in a lot of industrial applications I'd think there should be some cross reference information out there someplace. I just can't seem to find the right keywords to locate it.
