That sounds almost exactly like the Marelli-Plex.   I'll take some digital
pictures of my Plex and share them with you off-list.  Maybe you could
confirm that's what they used on the cars.  That would explain where they
came from.  And makes me wonder why people were paying huge amounts of money
for them in the 80/90s when they could just get them from junkyards
overseas.
