Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
OEM distributors for the VX are discontinued so I have to buy aftermarket. There are a lot on different parts websites but most of them have little to no reviews. Anyone here have experience with aftermarket distributors?

If you have the old Honda VX distributor, then rebuild it.

How can I tell if I have the original distributor? I'm pretty sure it's been replaced.
Based on eghatch's comments, you can use a z6 distributor internals to rebuild it, if it's the original. |

Re: Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
to my knowledge, the only 92-00 d series with a truly unique distributor is the d16y5.

Re: Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
I'd rather just get a new dizzy. Are there any good guides on how to rebuild? I could do it if it's not too hard. Also what would be the price difference between rebuild and buying new?

Re: Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
If I might inquire, what tools are required for the bearing and seal if you are rebuilding these things?

Re: Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
The bearing is the easy part. I don't have it handy, but it's made by Nachi and I have bought them before. It's the seal that's more challenging to find.

same thing, is this the same seal for b series distributors
Edit: I just verified that the distributor seal also fits the B16a2 distributor on the 2000 Civic Si.

I believe so. To verify on Amazon, entire year, make, model, and trim of Honda car for which the distributor was originally designed.

Thanks for the links and info
94eg8 mentioned a nachi bearing so gonna try to find that one, I think the bearing in the link is correct, just not sure which brand, I try to avoid the Chinese bearings FBJ Bearings for Industrial Sector FBJ has produced many standard and specialised types of ball and roller bearings under Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) and International Standardlization Organisation (ISO). It looks like they have been an OEM supplier for a few industries. |
