Re: [OMC-Boats] what is this......

haha - sorry......with a zillion parts, i wrongfully assumed this one
would be instantly recognizable by someone out there. It was
attached to the underside of my dash. I am doing a major dash/gauge/
wiring overhaul. part number looks like 098991 ? It's a metal
shell that seems to be filled with porcelain. Had to little pins
sticking out the side. One says 6 cyl the other 8 cyl. It
was barely attached / wired. i think only one or two of the 4 wires
were actually connected to anything. has a green, white, black,
and red wire. voltage regulator? my wiring diagrams show a
voltage regulator but imply it should be back by the engine
somewhere. i can't find it. maybe this is it?
