like it says are they different because i have a d16z6 vtec and my dizzy went bad and my friend has a non v tec dizzy from his hatch bt i think that it wont work because his spark plugs are in the rear mine front but can i still use the internals?pl help thanks

dantastic

IIRC, all d-series from 92-00 have the same distributor bolt pattern, except for the d15z1 and d16z6. the 92-95 vtec dizzys won't interchange correctly

ive had the same dizzy on my car with three diff. motors, never had any probs of any kind at all
D15B7 (plugs to rear)
D16z6 (plugs to front)
D16Y8 (plugs to front)
always fit, always worked without issues

95civickid

i am confused because i have a d16z6 motor and my dizzy went out/actually the ignition module went out any way, my friend had a distributer that came off a stock 92-95 civic hatch-back dx non-v-tec, im not sure the of the block number it was a d15** dont know the last two letter/number. any way the bolt pattern didnt line up so i took the ignition module and put it in my old dizzy and it still wouldnt start would that make the fireing order different plz i need help have no car now any advice plz..

ssbpturbohatch

i dont understand why it would not bolt up cause i took mine off of my d16z6
and put it on my friends d15b7 cause his went out on the side of highway so he could get home and it worked just fine, i'd try again if i were you just to make sure you did it the right way, just in case

VX/Si dizzys are different from others:

VTEC Dizzy p/n = 103489 001 1 DISTRIBUTOR (TD-42U)

Non-vtec Dizzy p/n = 103488 001 1 DISTRIBUTOR (TD-41U)

Look it up here: http://www.hondaautomotivepart...y.jsp

As stated by 95civickid, they don't bolt up.

ssbpturbohatch,
never seen anyone just "flip" it around and not have problems. Were you able to set the timing? Or did you just bolt it on and go?

USDMGD3!

ive read that non-vtec dizzy work but the bolts dont align up... try searching...

what do you mean "flip"?

ssbpturbohatch

it bolted right up and ran like it was supposed to, did not have to set timing or anything

civicminded92

So you didn't set the iginition timing to know if it was off or not? It's not a question of whether it functions, but whether it functions correctly. You may be able to "bolt" it on and it run, but you'll want the correct dizzy for the engine to allow proper ignition timing.

I said flip, actually I should have said rotate. Your plugs front/plugs rear statement. Still, you'll want the correct one.

95civickid

are you 100% positive it came from a d15z and that his motor was a d16z6? be cause i tried it again and it didnt work.

ssbpturbohatch

as far as "fliping" of the plugs thing, i was just refering to the placement of them on the motor as 95civickid mentioned, and second, all the motors i've used it on in my car have all been timed with and without a timing gun and are all correct. So yes i can say the timing was always ok even on the side of a busy highway!

ssbpturbohatch

all i know is float your boats however you want to, but i know what i've done through my experiences so i know what works and what does not work for me, so in that good luck with the whole dizzy thing 95civickid, do a search or keep talking to that civicminded guy or whatever you want, just tried to help

95civickid

i appreciate it man i appreciate every ones help thanx

civicminded92

I'm relating to you what HONDA says. No more no less. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS WORKS. You may have some experience that says otherwise, and that's great. But I don't know you, nor do I trust you.

The internet is full of people with good intentions and poor information. I'm not discounting your statements, but without evidence it's just heresay....


95civickid - A D15Z1 dizzy and a D16Z6 dizzy are interchangeable. Honda says that, and I have done that. I know this works.
