hey guys yet another problem...i took off the cap and there was a scew just layin inside there first of all..and the part number reads TC-08A which is for an od2 gsr or type r. Now the motor is 96b18b1 boosted in a 92 civic..is this the wrong distributor?........and i am going to get a new one but which one should i get?

 

check out the pic i guess this explains why at 2,000-4,000 rpm's it strarts to break up and ****

 

anyone have input on this?

 

Im pretty sure you need an obd1 dizzy

 

anyone have a part number??

 

the screw looks to be what holds the rotor in place....i thought if the dizzy had 2 plugs it was obd1? im not 100% though.

 

That is the rotor screw. Locktite blue will hold it in fine if you have problems.

The distributor is fine. All the OBD2 or OBD1 b-series internals will work. No need to get another one.

 

im not sure man I looked up the number and its gsr and type-r...what distributor do i need?

 

thanks will try it...you think that what its cause it to break up about 3000-4000 rpms?

 

YEs. I have seen it quit a few times.

 

have you checked ignition timing once it was hooked up?

 

this cant be the rotor screw. the ends not broke, and theres no hole in the middle of the rotor to scew it unless it goes somewhere elese not sure never messed it it before

 

no im getting it tuned shorty but what to get everything sorted out before the tune shops rapes me for tuning

 

pic of the rotor idk maybe im wrong..about the screw

 

is there suppose to be a screw right in the middle i take it?

 

nevermind found the hole on the side will try it out soon and let you guys know..thanks for all the help fellas!!....but is that distributor ok to use?

 

^^ yea the hole that hold the rotor on is on the side get a new cap and rotor and you'll be fine.

 

you can rotate the distrubutor a little bit clockwise (retard) or counterclockwise (advance)...you should loosen the 3 dist. bolts and get a timing light and set it to stock ignition timing....just to make sure its ok when u take it in for tuning.

 

yupppp...goin to acura tomorrow and get one.

 

man what is stock i havent done it in ahwile 14? 16?

 

Distributor will work. 16 degrees. Good luck. Might want to get a manual while you are at it. Sounds like some basic things are still ahead of you.

yeah been out of the game for yearssss

 

also, the dist. for a b18b and a b18c are different bolt patterns. So if all 3 of your mounting bolts for the dizzy to the had line up, you are good.

 

cool...thanks guys..on my way to acura right now to pick up new cap n rotor

 

did you get this number off of the coil? Check the number outside of the dizzy on the dizzy leg. The previous owner may have replaced the coil. Some people say that vtec dizzys dont work on non-vtec motors. wth
