It's a flux capacitor, it will transform my beetle into a time machine :lol:





It's an ignition box (top) and a coil (bottom). The ignition box lets you have a couple rev limiters, a start retard (for easier starting), and most importantly, it lets you run a coil that you could practically weld with :shock:
That particular ignition box also has a provision for a boost sensitive timing retard, which will be important some day ;). It also has an RPM window switch that you could use to control a nitrous system. It also has a tach output that should play nicely with my LM-1 and LMA-3.

lol. Between the LM-1, Aux Box, and soon the ignition box, not to mention the 5 gauges in there, this car is starting to have a lot of electronics. Just wait to I go fuel injection! :shock:
This is the one good thing I learned from the period when I didn't have any air cooled dibs and was into water cooled ones, electronics can be your friend and help you get the most out of your engine. They can also be a real PITA though, lol
