What is this thing?

1986 F-250 XLT LARIAT 7.5L V8

Need to know what this is called so I can replace it. Have been doing lots of things to get this thing starting reliably. By the grace of God ran into somebody whose owned many of these trucks before and he told me to replace this part. He called it the starter relay but every starter relay I Google is giving me the relay that's above the battery on the passenger side which I don't need. I think.....

Ignition Box

Just make sure you purchase one with the correct plugs. Also check wire retainer color, most are blue.

That's the ignition module. Last known number from Ford 1U2Z-12A199-AA. There's actually a number of dealers out there that show new old stock on hand. Message me if you want some contact info.

I have been running top of the line NAPA box without any problems.
The only reason why I replaced the factory one is the potting was leaking out of it down the inner fender and into my garage floor
