If you can't rotate the dizzy, it's probably inserted 180 degree off. Pry it out with a flat head screw driver.

omg no.....


please just simply take a RUBBER mallet hammer and give it a light tap on the metal housing and it will jump loose..

DO NOT PRY ANYTHING. DO NOT USE A METAL HAMMER EITHER.


And just for the record...a honda distributor Physically WILL NOT go in wrong..they go in One way and one way only...

i gave the the motor minute cranks and i could see a gap building between the dizzy & the head. then a a few taps with a rubber malet and its off. i put some form a gasket on the head and and reinstalled the dizzzy 1180 degrees from where it was. fingers crossed.

it wont go in 180 degrees opposite...it goes in one way..it will not even bolt in backwards (180 )

well my cousins stoner friend did just that. i undid his doing and it started right up.

Before I always believed that the dizzy can never be installed 180 degrees off. Until two days ago when I fixed a friends civic that has starting issues. Problem is the distributor was 180 degrees off. It was really tight, but my idiot friend has found a way to force the dizzy to go in anyway.

Nothing is stoner proof- they can f#$k up anything and then laugh all stupid about it.
