What is it?

Gentlemen,

I was cleaning out some of my garage storage bins this past weekend and ran across this. It is marked 74 454 on the side with a felt pen. Is it a transistorized ignition module? For the life of me, I can't recall where it came from and I've never owned a big block C3.

Looks like an very old 5 wire Mopar Direct Connection electronic ignition box from the 70's. The newer Mopar electronic ignition boxes are 4 wire.
