Anyone know what this is?

I'm told this is an '82 CJ. Can anyone tell me what this freedenoid is
next to the solenoid on the right fender? Any help appreciated.

Ignition module?

Hmm. I dunno. There are an awful lot of wires there, but the picture
isn't very good.

I suggested that he unplug it and see what stops working. That's what I
call hi-tech diagnostics.

Does it have a painless wiring kit installed, looks like my 70 amp maxi
fuse that came with kit.

I vote with Doug: Ignition module. All the wires from the thing head
straight for the distributor. Unplug it and the engine will be dead as a
doornail.

The ignition modules that I'm used to seeing in the circa 1980 CJ 258s is
the sandwich-sized Motorcraft unit on the left fender under the washer
bottle:

Here's a CJ-series wiring diagram:

I don't see the colored ribbon going into your mystery module. Could it
be a California vehicle? Some site say there were stepper-motor
controlled carbs as part of the CARB smog package in 1982, although those
sites put the EECU for that system up above the glove box.

Truthfully, I don't know. This is someone else's rebuild project.

Here's a better (closer) view of the same picture he sent to me. It
seems to me there are an awful lot of wires there for an ign module.
That radiator support couldn't be in a worse place in the picture. Those
wires go to a plug and then disappear into a wire loom.

Take a look at this again.

Probably going to have to trace the wire from the starter solinoid
but even with color differences that look like what it is.
Also note in that drawing the IGN module is _in_ the engine compartment.

Okay, I'll pass that along and let him figure it out.

Thanks.
