Default Help ID breakerless ignition.

Can anyone identify this ignition? It was in the car when I bought it. I have the TI, but want to get it running first. There are two wires, a black and a red. The red wire was attached to a pin in the fuse block. Looks like it was constant +12V. The black went to the coil -? Not sure. Looks like an aftermarket ring terminal lug on the black wire. Thanks

Looks like an early Pertronix unit. The wiring with a stock coil is shown in my middle diagram here:
