Being American, it could be anything! ?I can't be certain because I've not been able to find anything about that burner due to it's age. It could be it's something to do with the photocell flame detection (no light, turn on the igniter kind of deal). The best thing you could do is have a chat with a local plumber who deals with heating, particularly oil burners.
I know what a lot of the components are in that burner and how they tie together but I have no clue what that block does beyond the possibility that it's something to do with the igniter (if you're not familiar with these burners, the igniter transformer can be lethal so be very careful around the spring terminals/copper contacts coming out of the block on top of the blower and never touch them when the power is applied).
Thank you for your opinion. I thought the blk block was a solid relay but I'm not sure tho.I can't be certain because I've not been able to find anything about that burner due to it's age.

Thank you for tha advice! The spot on thats black block where the info was where it burnt up at. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about solid state relays? Could this block be one?

I have they said that model was soooo old then tried to sell me super expensive unit. I responded to then saying all I need is part number or volts/ amps requirements however I'm still waiting on return email 2 1/2 months now.?I'd suggest contact the manufacturers for advice.
