cb350f Electronic Ignition Identification?
« on: October 29, 2010, 05:54:06 PM »
This is on my 74 cb350f that I'm restoring.  Anyone know what electronic ignition this is?  There is zero marking on it.  Anyway to test it?  Bikes was last run in the late eighties so it would have been from that era or earlier.

does it connect directly to the coils?  or is there a control box of some sort?

Is it just me, or does the upper-left side part look melted? ???
