No. OEM distributors
After market is very well known to have issues.

make a tread on here, and buy second hand.

remanufacture if fine its just an oem cleaned up and with new internals

cafine

it depends where you going to buy it. some new china brands will work less reliability than 2nd hand oem good cond. dizzy.

yea but i never had any problems with em from autozone for old cars like chevy and fords good quility be it a points or electronic

Honda-tech.com. Not chevy-tech.com. Not ford-tech.com. OEM is far superior, and will easily outlast any part store replacement ignition parts.

If you haven't had problems with remanufactured Honda distributors then you haven't used any. Seriously, they are that bad.

Spend a little money now to do it right, or spend more money later to fix it. Your choice.

It's becuase they aren't anything like Honda's! Brands that might work with a ford, get rejected with a quickness in a Honda.


I haven't met a single person with a aftermarket distributor that didn't have issues.

LOL...

Buddy had a MSD distirbutor, it lasted 400 miles, and a handful of dyno runs. Quality stuff right there.
