Is this an '02 part?

[man_mark_7]

Too bad there is not an image match capability on the FAQ. I tried Google Image Search and it thinks this might be an instant camera ?

 

This came out of a box of mostly '02 bits I bought about a year ago. Is it an '02 part? What is it / what year(s)? There is certainly nothing like it on my '73.

 

thanks for looking.

Chrysler ignition module.  Definitely NOT a BMW part.

Bingo! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ignition-Control-Module-For-Mopar-A-B-C-E-F-Body-w-Electronic-Ignition-209/133486116949?fits=Make%3AChrysler&hash=item1f14648055:g:hAoAAOSw3utY5p07

 

There wasn't any part # on it, other than the TI (That's Texas Instruments, not Touring International) number which didn't turn up any car parts when I tried.

 

Since a new one sells for $18, this one is destined for the electronics scrap bin.

 

thank you.

That is an electronic ignition module from a ‘70’s Chrysler product. Trucks, cars. Great for retrofitting onto an earlier Mopar with points.  Needs the appropriate distributor. Maybe the po had ideas?.

In the old days of the FAQ C.D. would have told you it belonged at the bottom of your neighbor's pool.

Yeah - I see that mentioned all the time, but I never quite understood the joke. I could see "bury it in your neighbors garden" or, hide it under their deck, if you are just trying to not throw it in your trash for some reason. But a neighbor would see it if you threw it into their pool. And, if your neighbors were to see you tinkering on your car all the time, like mine see me doing, they would quickly deduce where the part came from.... ?

We're BMW 2002 owners.....can't afford pools of our own.

My guess it was more about tossing it over the fence and out of his life,  his neighbor just happened to have a pool.
