Icon5 My new project (88 shadow vl600C)

Hey all,
Just got this old thing home, got it for a whopping 200 Bucks!
I'm tearing it down and cleaning/polishing things as i go and had a quick question.

the guy i bought it from said that he blew the Ignition coil because he kept blowing the fuse and decided to throw a 50 amp (instead of the 15amp) in it, which resulted in melting the fuse box as well.

Has anyone here had any success finding parts for these old bikes, or would you know if there are any other year/make/model shadows i could use for the Ignition Module? I've also heard/read these referred to as the CDI box, is that correct, or a different part altogether?

On the same note, would a bad module cause the fuse to continue to blow or should i be looking at another issue as well?

All help appreciated, I can post pics later today if y'all want
