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.
