Neither?

That's a great shot as I've never seen anything even close to it before. Not much I recognized there until I realized the condenser was mounted externally - and it's big! Its mounting bolt would be where the electrical lead snapped on.

I suspect the cam lobes might be hidden from view underneath the bracket that locates the center shaft. I'm not sure that I can see the end of the contact block, so if it's underneath that bracket my theory makes sense.

And since it appears the part mounts solidly with two bolts, the threaded bolt at 12 o'clock must be to set the duration.

Am I getting warm?

I think it's definitely an electrical timing device, but not necessarily ignition. Does this go with an early FI system?
